Well, I went back and reread this entire thread, and I guess I had partially misunderstood some of the propositions. With the better understanding that I have now, I am in complete agreement with Piotr. As a result, here are my new comments about the PHP Policy Draft: 4.1.2: Instead, this should read "PHP PEAR library packages must not register and unregister themselves in the pear package management system. On the other hand, 'pear install -R DIR package.xml' can [should?] be called from 'debian/rules'." Another implication of this (if I correctly understand Piotr) is that Pear modules should not include any .registry files. Is that correct? Comments?
