What is a Package?
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:10 pm
I never really completely understood what a package is.
Are they just a class-hierarchy that solves a specific problem?
What is the difference between a package and a specific framework?
Are there naming conventions for packages?
When and where do you use @package phpdoc?
PEAR uses packages, is a PEAR package any different from a normal package?
Is a package exclusive to PHP?
Does a package only feature source code?
As you can see I'm rather confused.
