Here's the file in the CVS viewer: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/peardoc/en/chapters/installation.xml?view=log ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-15 22:41:31] clark at thirteen dot net Description: ------------ How do I get anonymous CVS access to PEAR source? How do I install a package from CVS into my repository? Execute these commands: cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login (phpfi as password) cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co pear/Full_Pear_PackageName [Replace Full_Pear_PackageName with the name of the package you want to check out.] Then, to install the package from CVS into your pear repository, cd to the package's directory and do: pear package Or, some packages may include a package.sh or package.bat, which you can run. Then you can just do either: pear install Full_Pear_PackageName-X.X.X.tgz or pear upgrade Full_Pear_PackageName-X.X.X.tgz (that tgz filename may differ with only a 2 digit version number) WARNING: It is highly NOT recommended to install packages from CVS on to a production server! Test script: --------------- Go to the PEAR Web site looking for instructions on how to get anonymous cvs access to pear source. Expected result: ---------------- Instructions in the FAQ. Actual result: -------------- A link to how to get anon cvs to PHP source, but not PEAR. Also, instructions on how to be an official PEAR developer. Googling turns up some results but you have to hunt for them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7917&edit=1
