[pkg-php-pear] [Pkg-php-pear] On PEAR packaging

Sun Jul 24 10:34:27 UTC 2011

(To someone in the pkg-php-pear maint group:
I have seen that Net_SMTP 1.6 is already prepared in Debian's git. Can
someone upload? it is required by php-horde-kolab-webmail and
recommended for php-horde-mail.
)

Thanks, it works great!

Thanks! This is perfect and more than I need now ;-)

Yes, but this is still good to know that all packages build (libs,
apps, bundles), except:
- those without package.xml
- those with invalid package.xml (hermes, kolab, koward)

Done. http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10375

OK. I have created http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10376.

Good

OK

I have attached a new pile of patches (patch 3 already discussed).

I have started to test, all packages installs correctly (appart from
Horde_Thrift, see #10376) when installing fake packages
"php-crypt-blowfish", "php-net-dns2" and "php-phpunit" (using equivs).

The interface works but I fail to connect to an IMAP server due to the
missing Crypt_Blowfish library. This is P1 on my TODO-list.

Also, the generated packages don't respect FHS because the config are
in /usr/share instead of /etc. This is P2.

I have seen that Net_SMTP version 1.6 is recommended/required: Why?

<<<<my TODO list
Packages not in Debian:
[ ] php-crypt-blowfish (Crypt_Blowfish), required
[ ] php-net-dns2 (Net_DNS2), optionnal

Package present but...:
[ ] php-phpunit: named phpunit
[ ] php-net-smtp: version 1.6 (Net_SMTP)

Other Debian TODOs:
[ ] config in /etc
[ ] Create ITPs
[ ] debian/copyright
[ ] Test
[ ] Upload to experimental

Perfectionist TODO:
[ ] File conflict between php-horde-scribe and php-horde-thrift
http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10376
