[Christian Weiske]

Hi all,


I've packaged up version 1.9.5 of PEAR. The files are available at

http://pear.php.net/~cweiske/1.9.5/PEAR-1.9.5.tgz
http://pear.php.net/~cweiske/1.9.5/go-pear.phar
http://pear.php.net/~cweiske/1.9.5/install-pear-nozlib.phar

Please test them and report the results here on the list.
Upgrade your existing systems to 1.9.5 and try the phars on fresh
systems. Try different php versions.

do we plan having public RCs?

Hello Ferenc,

do we plan having public RCs?

I originally thought about it, but there is bug #17535 [1] that
automatically upgrades all dependencies when upgrading a package.

When upgrading any package that is beta or alpha, you'll automatically
get the PEAR RC version. I don't really want that.

thats unfortunate, but we could go even lower in the preferred_state(devel,
snapshot), and I also think having the people who install alpha/beta
packages to test our RC would be less dangerous than not letting anybody
and shipping a stable with some major flaw.
I'm not saying that the current state is bad, but we have a considerate
amount of change, and our last release was some time ago, so I would like
to get as much testing as we can before the release.

That's a good idea.
I've just released PEAR version 1.9.5dev1.

Quite some pear packages are alpha/beta without a stable release, so
people sometimes have to use those stabilities.

Tested (by updating the Fedora RPM package of php-pear)

All seems ok.
(but I will continue to use it and so run some other tests)


Minor proposal: raise Archive_Tar dependency to avoid the broken
version which generate corrupted archives.

Tried installing from go-pear.phar on Windows, immediately hit
http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=18466

I'll try fixing that one.

Could not reproduce

Bug #18466 fixed.

However there are a lot of problems with handling .ini files on Windows,
PEAR_Start and PEAR_Start_CLI classes are in severe need of refactoring, etc.
We'll need to address these for 1.10, but 1.9.5 works "good enough", IMO.

I've re-generated the two phar files and uploaded them to
http://pear.php.net/~cweiske/1.9.5/


My plan is to wait at least until Jul 8th for feedback. Remi (of the
fedora php packages) is on vacation until Jul 7th and I'd love to get
feedback from him.

Dependencies:

Console_GetOpt is PHP4-compatible, which PEAR still has to be according
to the backwards compatibility rules. Yes, 1.9.5 will still be
php4-compatible.

Hi all,


PEAR 1.9.5 is finally out:
http://blog.pear.php.net/2014/07/12/pear-1-9-5/

The question now is who takes care of 1.10.0 - I won't do that for the
next couple of months.
