It's missing the RunTest.php file, so PEAR doesn't install. The options we have, as far as I can tell, are: [a] Re-release 5.0.4 with that file [b] Release 5.0.5 with that file (seems a bit too aggressive considering there are no code changes, and may cause confusion) [c] Instruct people to install PEAR from http://go-pear.org I lean towards option [a]. Thoughts? Zeev --- ## #15721 — Adam C.

I would also just place a note on the site (maybe the download page?) explaining what happened and letting people know why the files changed. -- Adam C.

Thoughts? I think [a] is the best choice as well, perhaps with a brief note at php.net? This is my fault and is no April Fool's joke. The problem was that RunTest.php was sitting in my local checkout but was not properly cvs added, so my install tests worked just fine. This has been corrected. To avoid this for the future, I'm brainstorming ideas for a script that can be used to sync with released PEAR packages so that pear can be removed from php-src altogether in CVS, and simply synced as part of a cron job for the snaps machines. Any advice or admonitions would be appreciated. Greg Pierre: can we work on this in tandem? --- ## #15722 — Pierre-Alain Joye — 2005-04-01T22:07:37+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/15720#15722 · In reply to: #15720 On Sat, 02 Apr 2005 00:00:18 +0200 zeev@zend.com (Zeev Suraski) wrote: > Folks, > > We have a bit of a situation with the PEAR distro that's embedded > in 5.0.4.

Thoughts? Agreed for [a]. --Pierre --- ## #15724 — Mike Robinson — 2005-04-02T00:29:05+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/15720#15724 · In reply to: #15720 Would 5.0.4pl1 be inappropriate? Two different versions of 5.0.4 seems odd, and 5.0.5 seems too drastic as you mentioned. Otherwise, IMHO, just make a brief announcement, point them to go-pear, and go through a normal 5.0.5 release cycle in a few weeks once a few more fixes make it in. Humbly, this isn't a big problem.

It might be nice to note on php.net somewhere right now before this is fixed that PEAR will not install. > The options we have, as far as I can tell, are: > > [a] Re-release 5.0.4 with that file > [b] Release 5.0.5 with that file (seems a bit too aggressive considering > there are no code changes, and may cause confusion) > [c] Instruct people to install PEAR from http://go-pear.org > > I lean towards option [a].

You could then provide a patch with notes for those with 5.04 installed or they could compile 5.0.4.1 I'd suggest if you rerelease the 5.0.4 as "5.0.4" then those with 5.0.4 installed will become a bit confused as to what they have installed (unless they do the checksum check). As for the CVS issue, I find in the code I write, doing a "cvs diff ." on my local directory tells me if anything is not in the repository, then I can cvs add and cvs commit once done. I then tag with the version number, roll a release package and install it on a pre production machine. Once the package is tested on a pre production machine I know that it will be ok in userspace -- if not I source the problem and roll a pre producton package again.

I'm always wary about re-releasing the same version because then you can't know why someone's having a problem.

The only difference is the addition of the missing file, everything else is identical.
