Re: RE: Getting the PEAR package manager

there is a wonderfully undocumented feature of cvs: CVSPASS enviroment variable allows you to use a temp password file.. I use something like this to do auto code updates.. var $cvspass = ":pserver:anonymous@php.com:/usr/cvs A??????"; <- put the password encrypted here..

       $fh = fopen("/tmp/cvspass","w");
       fwrite($fh,$this->cvspass);
       fclose($fh);
       $cmd = "cd ".dirname(__FILE__) ."/../;CVSPASS=/tmp/cvspass /usr/bin/cvs  update -d -P";
       $cmd;

unlink '/tmp/cvspass'; regards alan Martin Jansen wrote:

Running "cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository" and typing "phpfi" has the password should do the trick. Tomas: Can you add that to go-pear perhaps? - Martin
