Via XML-RPC: $r = new PEAR_Remote($this->config); $available = $r->call('package.listAll', true); , wich calls package::listAll() in pearweb/include/pear-database.php. The problem here is that is does only return the packages, but not their versions. For the bug reporting system I need the versions also, so I think that I'll create a new function for this. >It would be good to have a xml-rpc interface to get every possible info >about a package : maintainers, emails, descriptions, versions... upon >request.

There are already lots of functions providing information about packages. Have a look at all the functions in pear-database.php that have a comment including "proto" in the line before they start. - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
