[Solved] PEAR Package XML

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

[Solved] PEAR Package XML

Post by Ambush Commander »

Alright. So I've consulted the official resource: PEAR documentation on package2.xml, I've checked out a tutorial on creating a PEAR package, and I've even dabbled a little bit with PEAR PackageManager

As of right now, I am extremely frustrated.

It seems to me that most PEAR projects, having very few files, have their package.xml files hand-coded. For me, this is untenable: I have over a 100+ files, sometimes rapidly changing, and thus file list must be automated for me. I've bashed my head against the wall trying to get PEAR_PackageFileManager to work, but SimpleXML keeps spitting out mysterious errors, and the SVN implementation errors out.

Am I missing something really simple (like a glob functionality in the file list) that would let me just author the XML files by hand? Anyone successfully released a package with PEAR before and can offer helpful advice?

Fixed by using "file" plugin.
