PEAR_PackageFileManager pear.php.net PEAR New BSD License PEAR_PackageFileManager takes an existing v1 package.xml file and updates it with a new filelist and changelog This package revolutionizes the maintenance of PEAR packages. With a few parameters, the entire v1 package.xml is automatically updated with a listing of all files in a package. Use PEAR_PackageFileManager2 for v2 package.xml which is what channels require. Features include - can detect PHP and extension dependencies using PHP_CompatInfo - reads in an existing package.xml file, and only changes the release/changelog - a plugin system for retrieving files in a directory. Currently four plugins exist, one for standard recursive directory content listing, one that reads the CVS/Entries files and generates a file listing based on the contents of a checked out CVS repository, one that reads Subversion entries files, and one that queries a Perforce repository. - incredibly flexible options for assigning install roles to files/directories - ability to ignore any file based on a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s) - ability to include only files that match a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s) - ability to manage dependencies - can output the package.xml in any directory, and read in the package.xml file from any directory. - can specify a different name for the package.xml file PEAR_PackageFileManager is fully unit tested. pear.php.net PEAR_PackageFileManager2
