Hi,
refering to this email from pear-dev by Richard, I also thought if it
might be a good idea to change the example 10-2 at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/developers.packagedef.php
Would you agree with me that it might be a good idea to introduce the
"docs" dir below examples, because this is already declared as the
current standard for package layout as detailed in
http://pear.php.net/group/docs/20031114-pds.php
Regards,
Stefan

Ok my question is this... if the examples aren't installed in the
Mail directory, then how is the user supposed to know where to find
the examples? This may be obvious to PEAR developers, but I don't
think its obvious to the average user. Especially someone who is
new
to PEAR.
Second, the F.A.Q. at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/developers.packagedef.php
shows
examples
being placed in the same directory as the class file. Look at
example
10-2. It doesn't say anything about putting them in a docs
directory.
Third, if I don't update the version number, how is the user supposed
to know that I've fixed or changed anything? (Even if it is
something
small).

Richard York
