Re: Installing PEAR in Windows

There is however only 166 packages at the latest count. It would be a very easy task for a server to take the list of packages and produce a single downloadable .zip/.tgz file containing everthing. In fact, you should be able to write the code to perform this task in PEAR itself (and if not, why not?!). I agree that it is convenient to download only the packages you need using the installer, however when you have no access to cvs and the current installer is apparently broken, producing a single downloadable appears to make a lot of sense. -- Alan "Jon Wood" <jon@jellybob.co.uk> wrote in message news:1049912286.1586.1.camel@bertha.2of3.co.uk... > On Wed, 2003-04-09 at 19:12, Alan McFarlane wrote: > > Yes I know this is topic that has seen frequent discussion, however I do > > think it is about time that somebody would create a single .zip file > > containing the complete PEAR installation. > > > The problem with that is that PEAR isn't something that can be packaged > as a "complete" installation, since it's designed to install individual > packages. > > Jon > > This is something that could be done on a weekly or even nightly basis by > > the PEAR server, and would help us poor Windows users out tremendously. > > > > -- > > Alan McFarlane > > CEO On-Line Technology > > > > > > >
