1) usability patch 2) robustness patch 3) alpha version 1) usability patch File: go-pear_0.6.0_usability_v8.patch Goal: Enhance usability of go-pear by making the menu work in clear stages, order the config page more intuitively, allow selection of pfc packages individually and report config errors inline with the config form. Major changes: * show configuration errors inline in configuration page * choose PFC packages individually * more verbose error reporting of config errors * menu generation, with stages in color * immediat permission check on proposed default prefix dir Minor changes: * Include short description of pfc packages * Some duplicate code removed * Some css/html fixes * webfrontend file linking fix Included is the file: go-pear_config_example.html which is a copy of the new config page. 2) robustness patch File: go-pear_0.6.0_robustness.patch Makes the installation process more robust: bootstraps a minimal pear in a temp directory and uses that to install the requested packages. (although that sounds logic, it used to happen less evidentely). By using PEAR itself to do the rest of the installation, existing packages can easely be detected, and nothing is downloaded more then needed. When an error happens now during the installation, the user just has to reload the page, and the installer will continue where it left of. (Often errors are because of network failures or php memory limitations, which can be fixed during a reload). 3) alpha version File: go-pear_alpha.txt This is the alpha version of the go-pear software, it uses both patches above.
