Description:
------------
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/developers.packagedef.php currently documents package.xml packages that are invalid when checked against the package.xml DTD hosted at http://pear.php.net/dtd/package-1.0.
Fixes:
1. <release> element must contain an additional element, <license>, between the <date> and <state> elements.
2. <file> element is only allowed to contain a <replace> element, not CDATA. The name attribute of <file> is used to specify the filename, however, all of the examples show the filename appearing as CDATA within the <file> element. Please replace all examples of <file>filename</file> with <file name="filename" />.
Suggested addition:
On platforms where libxml2 is installed, developers can check the validity of their package.xml file by running the following command:
xmllint --dtdvalid http://pear.php.net/dtd/package-1.0 --noout package.xml
