Bug #2156 [Opn->Csd]: go-pear fails

Edit report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=2156&edit=1 ID: 2156 Updated by: cellog@php.net Reported By: mike at php dot net -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Web Site Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cellog New Comment: This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better. Archive_Tar was expecting null, not false, if compression was not explicit. Great catch zae26305, I implemented it more simply by assigning null to $have_gzip, since null evaluates to false and does not raise any notices.
