New page:
= PEAR Packages in PLD Linux =

== Creating new PEAR Package ==

Install {{{php-pear-PEAR_Command_Packaging}}} package.

To prevent such messages on console:
{{{
WARNING: channel "pear.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "channel-update 
pear.php.net" to update
}}}

Run:
{{{
$ sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net
Updating channel "pear.php.net"
Update of Channel "pear.php.net" succeeded
}}}

Download tarball
{{{
$ pear download Text_Wiki_Cowiki
Failed to download pear/Text_Wiki_Cowiki within preferred state "stable", 
latest release is version 0.0.2, stability "alpha", use 
"channel://pear.php.net/Text_Wiki_Cowiki-0.0.2" to install
Cannot initialize 'Text_Wiki_Cowiki', invalid or missing package file
Package "Text_Wiki_Cowiki" is not valid
download failed
}}}

It might complain that the package is not in stable state, then force another 
state:
{{{
$ pear download Text_Wiki_Cowiki-alpha
downloading Text_Wiki_Cowiki-0.0.2.tgz ...
Starting to download Text_Wiki_Cowiki-0.0.2.tgz (23,915 bytes)
........done: 23,915 bytes
File /home/glen/rpm/pld/SPECS/Text_Wiki_Cowiki-0.0.2.tgz downloaded
}}}

Now you can make PEAR to make the specfile:
{{{
$ pear make-rpm-spec Text_Wiki_Cowiki-0.0.2.tgz
Wrote RPM spec file php-pear-Text_Wiki_Cowiki.spec
}}}

Filter, test, edit the created spec via:
{{{
$ ./pearize.sh php-pear-Text_Wiki_Cowiki.spec
}}}

Now cleanup the void rpm if statements (%if 0), test, check %dir and other 
%file section items, build and commit to CVS.

also worth running {{{SPECS/rpmdb-checkdir.sh}} in /usr/share/pear after you've 
installed your new package to see if all dirs are owned properly.

== Updating PEAR Package ==

...

... and filter through {{{./pearize.sh}}} script. of course verify the diffs it 
makes, as it is still not perfect.

== Conventions ==

Only php-pear-PEAR subpackages should depend on php-pear-PEAR, ohers should use 
just php-pear-PEAR-core dependency. of course you need to test to be sure that 
it is so.

For optional packages a textfile is created and output in {{{%post}}}. The 
optional packages are excluded from requirement using rpm macro 
{{{_noautoreq}}} defintion in spec.
