Description: ------------ The packager assumes that everything in the <contents> section is within a <dir name="/"> section. It creates an empty package if there's the following markup in package.xml <contents> <dir name="/"> <file role="src" name="foo.c"/> </dir> <dir name="test"> <file role="test" name="foo.phpt"/> </dir> </contents> So either the packager should fail with a validation warning, or package the files right away.

this is a big enough change that it will be pushed to 1.5.0, as we really need to push 1.4.8 tomorrow

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
