Package: php4-pear Version: 4:4.4.0-2 Severity: minor Both recent and old debian-webapps mailing list discussions (that I invite you all to participate in) have suggested that it may be inappropriate for php4-pear to ship with .filemap, .lock, and .registry.
In a feeble attempt to summarize arguements which were primarily made by other people, it is important to cleanly separate pear modules installed by Debian, and pear modules installed from the command line using pear. It seems that either two separate, parallel directory structures should be maintained, one in /usr/share/php for Debian pear packages, and another somewhere under /usr/local for manually installed pear packages. As for the filemap, lock, and registry files, they would no longer be necessary if command line pear defaulted to /usr/local/something. Further, they are already problematic inasmuch as they refer to file locations and hashes that may have been changed by part of the Debian installation. Anyway, let's discuss this and figure out what to do. :-) Charles -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'stable'), (70, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages php4-pear depends on: ii php-db 1.7.6-2 PHP PEAR Database Abstraction Laye ii php-http 1.3.6-2 PHP PEAR module for HTTP related s ii php-mail 1.1.6-2 PHP PEAR module for sending email ii php-net-smtp 1.2.6-2 PHP PEAR module implementing SMTP ii php-net-socket 1.0.6-2 PHP PEAR Network Socket Interface ii php-pear 5.0.5-1 PEAR - PHP Extension and Applicati ii php-xml-parser 1.2.6-2 PHP PEAR module for parsing XML ii php4-common 4:4.4.0-2 Common files for packages built fr php4-pear recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
