un-PEAR-ing

July 5th, 2006

Astonishing. I’m quite surprised. I thought PHPUnit was fairly well integrated into PEAR (pear run-tests). I’m not sure if this is a fork, or if PEAR will continue to use PHPUnit as an external dependency?

I’ve never been a PEAR fan. My experiences being peripherally involved with the XML_HTMLSax package weren’t encouraging. However, my opinion of PEAR has turned around in recent years thanks to work such as channels in the pear installer and MDB2.

I hope this doesn’t end up a fork. I see little sense in that. I’ll be interested in seeing the PEAR response.

    I don’t see a problem with that. PEAR always supported other testing mechanisms and will for sure in the future.

    It is no surprise, Sebastian envisaged this since quite a long time. I consider it is very good for all of us that he finnally took a decision. The decision itself is the best one for phpunit and PEAR.

    It is in my opinion absolutely not critical for PEAR. “pear run-tests” does support many tests tools.

    PEAR will most likely not maintain a fork, it would be a waste of resources. Channels make it easy to install packages anyway so it is pretty trivial to install it when you need the dependency.

    I also found PEAR has a lot of waste. Tried several classes and spit after I saw what they have inside.
    But in other hand PEAR contain a lot of good and quality classes. I like PEAR::DB (PEAR::MDB2 now) and PEAR::HTTP_Request very much – their creators are gods!

    I am a certified credit and financial counselor. I would suggest that you destroy the old card and start using the new card, as it is a better deal for you all around. You should leave both cards open. Closing a credit card can actually lower your credit score, because it reduces the proportion of “balances to credit limits,” which is a major factor of your credit score. Furthermore, a creditor may not take an adverse action against you (like denying a loan) just because you don’t use one of their products.

    Wow – what a great contest! I hope we win – DIY invites and response cards are on our to do list. I LOVE vistaprint and have been using them for years. They have so many great designs. Winning this would help my fiance’ and I immensely (both financially and time-wise)!
