The PEAR installer is designed to work nicely with native package systems, but I haven't tested it yet. I'll take a look and see if they read my mind right. :-) > - they are asking why is pear splited in two parts in cvs (pear and > php4/pear)? to be honest - they couldn`t find some packages so i explained > them where can they look for them. the background of this question is - when > will this situation be fixed and all classes will be moved to 'pear' cvs > module? Pretty soon. The three packages that will remain in php4/pear are PEAR, Console_Getopt and Archive_Tar. These are needed for the installer. In addition, there are tarballs for other packages in php4/pear/packages that are also installed during "make install", but I can add a configure switch to disable installing these. > - there is a request to check if end of files is \n not \n\r - it breaks > something with automatic rpms creation, im not sure what Really? Having \r\n is not good, but why should rpm care? Could add crlf->lf conversion to the package command though. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken, Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway http://pear.php.net/wishlist.php/ssb
