Release notes
-------------
With the release of 0.10, PEAR_PackageFileManager is
essentially feature-complete. It handles all possible package.xml settings
for PEAR, and is extensible through the 'pearcommonclass' option
- changed to using strnatcasecmp for version numbers
in the search through ChangeLog, so 0.10 > 0.1
- added md5sum attribute to filelist
- added use of PEAR_Common::validatePackage() to catch odd
errors
- fixed incorrect handling of PEAR_Error in File::getFileList()
- added handling of filelist platform attribute
- added handling of filelist install-as attribute
- added handling of filelist replacements options
Package Info
-------------
This package revolutionizes the maintenance of PEAR packages. With a few parameters,
the entire package.xml is automatically updated with a listing of all files in a package.
Features include
- reads in an existing package.xml file, and only changes the release/changelog
- a plugin system for retrieving files in a directory. Currently two plugins
exist, one for standard recursive directory content listing, and one that
reads the CVS/Entries files and generates a file listing based on the contents
of a checked out CVS repository
- incredibly flexible options for assigning install roles to files/directories
- ability to ignore any file based on a * ? wildcard-enabled string
- ability to manage dependencies
- can output the package.xml in any directory, and read in the package.xml
file from any directory.
- can specify a different name for the package.xml file
