Description: ------------ When using a minus (-) in a custom task, it cannot find the task, so validation fails. Used the chiaramdb2schema and chiara-managedb task from pear.chiaraquartet.net in a script. By adding this line: $task = str_replace(array($this->_tasksNs . ':', '_'), array('', ' '), $task); To class PEAR_PackageFile_v2::getTask() It seems it works. This also feels more correct, as underscore is used everywhere else in PEAR to map to a directory. The problem with the chiara-managedb task is that: PEAR_Task_Chiara_Managedb_rw::getName() returns the task name with an underscore. Changing this to a - though creates problems when instantiating the classes in this task later, as Chiara_Managedb would then be Chiara-Managedb, and thus is not found.

if you pass a random task that isn't a postinstall task, it should error out - the bug in PEAR is bogus

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.
