How do we get the result when pear remote-list is called ? I thought it was already xml and then it was parsed by some pear component. Isn't it so ? It would be good to have a xml-rpc interface to get every possible info about a package : maintainers, emails, descriptions, versions... upon request. I don't think this will fit in the bug reporting system but I would need it to implement a correct GUI. I am probably not the only one who could benefit from this. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
