So then you love projects like Pearfarm.com (mine), pearhub.org, etc? These are simply "open" PEAR repos a la RubyGems.
We use Pearfarm internally for all of our shared code, and it's super-easy to build and share packages.
Frankly I don't understand why something like Pearfarm hasn't been widely adopted, since it is essentially the same as RubyGems which is a completely workable solution for the ruby community.
I think people just don't understand that PEAR has 2 parts, the "installer" and the "official repo" and basically they write off anything related to PEAR.
In any case I'd love to hear your thoughts on why the community doesn't rally around Pearfarm, Pearhub, etc since they are basically the solution you're looking for.

- apinstein 15y agoAll true. Care to help? I can make that happen!
- jqueryin 15y agoI'd be willing to help. What are your thoughts on shifting gears towards Pyrus (PEAR2) moving forward? I'd personally like to start with the freshest of the fresh if I was going down the path of improving available package management options in PHP. My thought would be to create a wrapper around Pyrus to improve upon it. http://pear2.php.net/ http://pear2.php.net/ You can contact me via the email addy in my HN profile.
