Re: Suggestions regarding Pear & PHP5

SNIP Another very nice feature would be if it was possible to select x number of packages (those I plan to use) and then get a list of requirement for these packages. These requirements would be dependencies of other needed packages, what PHP needs (compile options) and php.ini settings. Unless PhpDocumentor already supports it, it would be very nice to be able to document these dependencies directly in the source code as well. Another Pear module could then be able to extract this documentation and thus quickly give me a dependency and requirement list for my installation. Would this be overkill you think? For me it would most likely save a lot of time testing packages to check if they work with my PHP, just to discover later into the project that features doesn't work with the PHP I use and thus risk to force me to restart development for parts of it. /Thomas What sort of dependency documentation are you thinking of, add tags to docblock saying what packages a class (etc) uses, or something based on inheirtance (and in 5 implements) trees.
