PHP Pear packages as RPMs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]


Hello all,

I'm new to this list (and new to RPM packaging in Fedora too), so I
packaged 2 php-pear libraries which are currently under review by C.
Stone. This made me think about the usefulness of packaging Pear
libraries as RPM files...

A library installation using Pear is usually as simple as running "pear
install xxx" so it makes me wonder if we are reinventing the wheel by
creating RPMs. After all, pear = yet another yum-like repository with
many common commands.

The simple answer is that we need RPMs to provide an autonomous Fedora
installation DVD. But what about Pear RPMs which are not a dependency of
other programs shipped with Fedora? Wouldn't it be a good idea to add
Pear as a PackageKit backend? Or is trusting Pear directly too risky?

Steven
