Tobias Schlitt - a passion for php

And on the fifth day, god said "be nice to each other and just cvs commit". By Garvin Hicking on [php-blog-devs].

After a pretty bunge of work last night (written RFCs, created surveys, fixed developement environment,...) this morning I posted an RFC and a proposol on pear-dev/pear-qa. 1. The RFC: I did not even think about doing an RFC when I tried out the little solution about my PEAR CVS problems. But after this huge discussion on pear-dev I decided to create an RFC and now hope, that things will get better... ;) You can find the original RFC here and the HTML version here. The rest of the discussion takes place mainly on pear-qa, which is IMHO not yet archived. 2. The survey idea Because of those many discussions concerning QA on PEAR I thought about creating a little survey to ask PEAR users and developers for their opinion on different things. Maybe thats a good way to give actual PEAR QA efforts a more clear direction. You can find the initial post here and test the survey here

Es everyone should know there is a official PHP CVS repository, where PEAR is a module. Here is a small overview, what the average PEAR developer has to do, if he likes/has to use CVS with his package. The problem The structure of the PEAR directory (locally on the users maschine) looks similar to this: ÿ6ÿ While the developement structure on CVS looks like this: ÿ7ÿ I think, everybody simply realizes, where the problem is. Normaly one would expet to have the same directory structure in both environment, to check out a complete developement from CVS. My solution for that: Change your projects CVS structure like this: ÿ8ÿ You now have to add the pathes to your projects directories in your local repository to the include_path, eg. by doing this: ÿ9ÿ Maybe anyone can use this for easier developement.

After several people asked my to have the sources of my PEAR packages inside the official CVS I decided to torture myself with CVS and added all of my PEAR projects. Here are the links: Net_FTP on PHP CVS Log_Parser on PHP CVS Image_Text on PHP CVS Image_Tools on PHP CVS I hope people enjoy, watching my stupid codings! ;)
