[ANNOUNCEMENT] PEAR_RemoteInstaller-0.3.0 (alpha) Released.

The new PEAR package PEAR_RemoteInstaller-0.3.0 (alpha) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Support for FTPS and SFTP is now available! * Drop Net_FTP dependency, add dependency on PHP 5, use streams to access FTP. * Require PEAR 1.4.3 for security reasons * Add optional dep on ssh2 extension Package Info ------------- Originally part of the 1.4.0 new features, remote installation through FTP, FTPS and SFTP is now its own package. This package adds the commands "remote-install" "remote-upgrade" "remote-uninstall" and "remote-upgrade-all" to the PEAR core. To take advantage, you must have a config file on the remote ftp server and full access to the server to create and remove files. The config-create command can be used to get started, and the remote_config configuration variable is set to the full URL as in "ftp://ftp.example.com/path/to/pear.ini" or "ftps://user:pass@ftp.example.com/path/to/pear.ini" or "ssh2.sftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com/path/to/pear.ini" After this is done, install/upgrade as normal using the remote* commands as if they were local.
