'ln -s'-script for PEAR-CVS

in case someone is interested: i have written a short script which creates softlinks against a PEAR-CVS directory using the package.xml file of each package. this way you can set up a structure of all packages which looks as if the packages were installed, only that everything is just a softlink. so you can work in your from-CVS-cecked-out-directory without bothering of copying or anything ... as long as the package.xml file is ok and the program interprets it properly it should work :-) it might not be the perfect solution but it works fine for me if anyone is interested: 1. download the script 2. configure the 2 vars inside, src- and dest-dir 3. be sure Tree and XML_Parser are installed 4. and run it from the command line http://www.kriesing.de/showsource.php?domain=wolfram.kriesing.de&file=/programming/scripts/setupLns.php http://wolfram.kriesing.de/programming/scripts/setupLns.php.gz it depends on the packages XML_Parser and Tree i checked it against all the PEAR classes in the pear-directory, it works with all of them. even though the structure differs in some package-files a little. some package-files like the one in Net_NNTP are not all correct, but i guess the script does a good enough job. bugs are welcome. should this script go anywhere in PEAR-CVS? like in "scripts"? -- Wolfram ... translating template engine .... http://sf.net/projects/simpletpl ... authentication system .... http://sf.net/projects/auth
