Hi,
My name is David Hollis and I've been working on packaging a few PEAR
packages such as Auth and MDB2_Driver_pgsql (to complement the MySQL
driver). I am employed as an IT Security Professional and am actively
developing internal applications with PHP and PostgreSQL quite
extensively.
I'm also interested in submitting a package for the Zend Framework in
the near future.

Ok, point made, this was what I meant to say with "Or is trusting Pear
directly too risky?". It was just an idea for the long, long, long
term :)

PHP Pear packages as RPMs
by Steven Moix
Hello all,
I'm new to this list (and new to RPM packaging in Fedora too), so I
packaged 2 php-pear libraries which are currently under review by C.
Stone. This made me think about the usefulness of packaging Pear
libraries as RPM files...
A library installation using Pear is usually as simple as running "pear
install xxx" so it makes me wonder if we are reinventing the wheel by
creating RPMs. After all, pear = yet another yum-like repository with
many common commands.
The simple answer is that we need RPMs to provide an autonomous Fedora
installation DVD. But what about Pear RPMs which are not a dependency of
other programs shipped with Fedora? Wouldn't it be a good idea to add
Pear as a PackageKit backend? Or is trusting Pear directly too risky?
