BINGO! That was it. Thank you. The issue is that you can't include package.xml itself in a pear package. If you do, you'll get a bad checksum, for chicken-and-egg reasons.
I don't expect anyone to fix that; I clearly need to stop including package.xml in my packages. There is nothing wrong with the plugins site, clearly. However, it would be very helpful if the Symfony plugin upload verifier checked for the presence of package.xml in the .tar.gz file and flagged it as a fatal error. Judging from references to this problem in Google I am not the only plugin author who mostly uses svn externals to install packages and so has never paid close enough attention to this issue before. It would make a lot of sense to check for it, and since there's clearly a lot of stuff being checked already it probably wouldn't be hard to add. -Tom On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 9:25 PM, 4levels <[email protected]> wrote: > (If the md5sum of a file changes indeed with every change in the file > even if the size is the same, than it's quite a paradox: how to set > the md5sum of a file that stores the md5sum in it's content?) > > > On 6 mrt, 18:20, Tom Boutell <[email protected]> wrote: >> Okay, thanks, I did rm -rf cache/.pear and now I get this: >> >> Installation of "sfDoctrineApplyPlugin" plugin failed: bad md5sum >> for file >> /Users/boutell/Sites/testapp12/plugins/sfDoctrineApplyPlugin/package.xml >> >> I've seen this one before and I'm not aware of anyone who has found a >> solution.
