History: PearUpgrades

I decided that time passed enough. Last upgrade on pear occured on june 19th, I check all PEAR packages that we use and upgraded them. Here is the detail of upgrades :

Licence PHP3
Changes from 1.1: 2003-08-13

• Changed license from PHP 2.02 to 3.0
• Added support for optional dependencies
• Made upgrade and uninstall package case insensitive
• pear makerpm, now works and generates a better system independant spec file
• pear install|build pecl-package, now exposes the compilation progress
• Installer now checks dependencies on package uninstall
• Added proxy support for remote commands using the xmlrcp C ext (Adam Ashley)
• Added the command "download-all" (Alex Merz)
• Made package dependency checking back to work
• Added support for spaces in path names (Greg)
• Various bugfixes
• Added new pear "bundle" command, which downloads and uncompress a PECL package. The main purpouse of this command is for easily adding extensions to the PHP sources before compiling it.

Files :

• lib/pear/PEAR.php
  • all other pear packages
  • lib/webmail/mimeDecode.php
  • lib/adodb/adodb-pear.inc.php
  • lib/adodb/adodb-errorpear.inc.php
  • lib/adodb/tests/test.php
  • lib/phplayers/lib/layersmenu-common.inc.php (from phplayers cvs module)
• lib/pear/System.php
  • no file, removed (14k saved 😊

1.3 is in beta3 will probably be released soon.

Licence PHP2
Release notes 1.2.2 : 2003-07-28

• Fixed a problem in 1.2.1 release
• Added support for passing contaner as an object
• Added fix when db_fileds is *
• Added Test Suite (experimental)
• Added generic support for arbitrary password crypting functions different than MD5, DES and plain text. (Patch by Tom Anderson)
• Added new MDB storage container written by Lorenzo Alberton
• Added new Container for SAMBA password files (SMBPasswd)

Files :

• lib/pear/Auth/Auth.php
  • lib/userslib.php
• lib/pear/Auth/Container.php
  • lib/pear/Auth/Container/LDAP.php
• lib/pear/Auth/Container/LDAP.php
  • not found (???)

We could add more container maybe, as we use only LDAP but that list is available
DB.php File.php IMAP.php LDAP.php MDB.php POP3.php RADIUS.php SMBPasswd.php SOAP.php vpopmail.php

chris.holman: The file lib/pear/Auth/Container/LDAP.php has been alomost completely re-written. For the better in most cases. However, it no longer implements the function AddUser(I dont know why). This is used by the TW login feature to add a user if they dont exist. I think it would be worth updating. Adding a user could be implented within the TW code, or we could re-add the function to pear::Auth.

• DB.php and DB/ should not be used anymore. but it's used in the following files
  • db/tiki-db.php
  • db/structure_fix_1.7to1.8.php
  • lib/bablotron.php
  • lib/phpOpenTracker/phpOpenTracker.php (but phpopentracker is bundled with its own pear::DB file)
  • lib/phplayers/lib/layersmenu-common.inc.php (but that use is very optional and inhibited)
