Can be interesting. Same > as the official php distribution or uptodated ? I don't know - I haven't enought time to look at it yet. I can describe how is it done in PLD, because I made it :) We have there allmoust all classes that are in tgz packages (now this is ~60 rpm packages). Some, which are not present in tgz I take from php package, but this not good thing. These should be also present as separate tgz. We do not use installer from pear, because keeping 2 packaging databases is not good solution. All dependencies are made automatically - with a script. Works really nice. Some packages depend on others and it's not shown in package.xml :) I'll later send such a description. -- --------------------------------- pozdr.
