Hello again! Just came across another behaviour of installer that while is not a bug, it looks not very user-friendly I set up some dependencies in package.xml and set one of the package version too high I set the dependency on Validate min 0.8.0 but I have a 0.7.0 installed So the installation of my package halted when it got to this dependency with a message similar to this: minimal version required 0.8.0 installed version 0.7.0 package cannot be installed That's it. I think when installing perl modules from CPAN, it handles such things a little better - asking user if he wants to upgrade or to install the missing or outdated dependency. Can this feature be added to pear installer? I mean if the required min version is 0.8.0 and installed is 0.7.0, can the installer ask Do you want to upgrade to required version: yes/no entering 'yes' will download required version and installation will continue. -- Open Source ALL content management with streaming video http://wiki.sharedlog.com
