Hello pear-dev and go-pear maintainers,
Go-pear is such an amazingly great and conceptually simple
thing. I
decided to enhance it, so that even more people can follow
those easy
steps and install pear.
Attached is a patch that makes (the webfrontend of) go-pear
more user friendly:
It enhances the usability of go-pear by making the menu work
in clear stages,
by ordering the config page more intuitively, by allowing
the selection of pfc packages individually and by reporting
config errors inline with the config form.
The changes are (in order of reading the patch file):
* 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
Some minor changes include:
* Include short description of pfc packages
* Some duplicate code removed
* Some css/html fixes
* webfrontend file linking fix
This patch, and a image-less example of how the go-pear
config page looks like
now, can also be seen at: http://ti
as.ulyssis.org/patch/pear/go-pear/
Next I plan to make the installation more robust: allow an
aborted
installation (eg php limit error, download timeout) to
continue without
starting all over.
Feel free to contact me,
Greetings,
Tias
