Nice.
That does seem a lot cleaner than the stuff from PLD which was the
other
proposal to bootstrap from a .tgz. But it's still essentially a hack
because it relies on using install-pear.php extracted from PEAR CVS :(
True but it's only one file.
Tim J - did you get anywhere with improving the management of the
release .phars upstream?
I got agreement but have not had time to follow through to get exact
instructions/permission. I still can do that but would rather avoid it
if Remi has a reasonably nice solution as it puts another (permanent)
dependency on me.
If we are resigned to the fact that there will be no traction on that
issue upstream then I think we should go with Remi's method described
here. Any dissent?
I haven't actually tried it but it looks smart to me, and solves the
permanent phar problem at a stroke.
