When I uploaded the new release of excimer, submitting the verify page responded with a blank page.

Thanks. Can you try to make sure not to have an UTF-8, but just ASCII in your package.xml file? Can you send me the tar ball to try? You can also try deleting the uploaded release, and then retry with just that ASCII in package.xml.

Was my followup message not delivered? I wrote:

This was probably because the package.xml had an error in it which was missed by "pear package-validate" but caused a fatal error in Dependency2::validateOsDependency() when installing the package. Remi reported the issue to us and proposed a fix. https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-php-excimer/pull/7

Remi's fix was merged and released in excimer 1.2.1 which was uploaded successfully. Really it's a PEAR validator bug. Validation should have detected the issue before it became a fatal error. The broken package, 1.2.0, was uploaded and you can find it at https://pecl.php.net/get/excimer-1.2.0.tgz , it's just that there was an error after upload, late in the request. -- Tim Starling
