Fwd: PEAR file-hierarchy

Hi pears, may I bring up this subject again? If I remember correctly it wasn't yet resolved or at least commented upon. Do some maintainers (maybe even me included) do something wrong in their package.xml?

So should we have a look into all package.xml-files and file bugs? What do you think?

Some packages seem to be "right" (e.g. HTML_Progress) while others aren't. Imho this seems unnecessary in most cases, you're right. I'll bring that subject up again on PEAR QA. Thank you for pointing this out. Stefan ------- End of forwarded message ------- ------- End of forwarded message -------
