comments about post-install script feature of PEAR Installer

Hello again. I have a comment about how post-install scripts are handled by installer. Basically in order to run post-install script a user need to enter #pear run-scripts channel/PACHAGE This has to be typed in separately after the installation of the package. The problem I see here is that users who are not familiar with pear installer will miss this step and installation will not be complete then. I think a similar feature on CPAN is implemented in a more user-friendly way. If the package needs to be configured, then at the end of the installation the prompt automatically appears asking the user if he/she wants to run configuration/ I have not use CPAN in a while, so I don't remember exactly how it's presented. The feature that I would like to see in pear installer is that if a post install configuration is required then the user is asked a simple question like: configure a package now: yes/no then a warning about 'ATTENTION: NEVER RUN SCRIPT FROM UNTRUSTED SOURCE' can be shown. Also an extra text about what configuration will do will be shown. This can be stored in package.xml For example: 'In order to finish installation you must setup a database dsn. type 'yes' to start configuration script' And then after user types 'yes' the post-install script will start. I think this is more user-friendly than asking user to type run-script channel/PACKAGE Does this sound like a reasonable feature request for the Installer? -- Open Source ALL content management with streaming video http://wiki.sharedlog.com
