Package Installing - Can't find PEAR_data_dir

Greetings,

I can't seem to find where designated data files go upon
installation.  I've
created my package.xml file, validated, tarballed, and pear
installed.  I
can find the php files.  I can find the php_pear_data_dir
environment
variable.  However I can't find any of my files there.  Are
there any common
pitfalls I may have fallen into?  This is my first package
and I'm really
fuzzy on the package.xml file in general so it may be
something that seems
obvious to a vet pear developer.

Here's the package.xml,

Hi Vladimyr,

The locations of files correspond to configuration
variables.  Try:

pear config-show

This will list many variables.  The ones you want to locate
are those
ending in _dir.  For instance, php_dir, data_dir, test_dir,
etc.  These
all correspond to role="php" role="data"
and role="test"

How did you generate this package.xml?  It's very unusual to
see the
md5sum in there from a hand-generated package.xml.  If you
are using
PEAR_PackageFileManager, add this option to your options
array:

'simpleoutput' => true

and the package.xml will be much easier to read.

Environment variable or PEAR config value? What does
"pear config-show" show?

Found them.  I did a "pear config-show" and it
showed the data_dir to be in
the DocumentRoot area of Apache.  I was looking for it in
the PHP/PEAR
directory before.  Thank you.

How can I find who maintains the documentation for the PEAR
manual?  I've
found roles and installation directories to be particularly
confusing.
Would I post to the pear-doc list?

Thank you again,

Vladimyr

You could send an email to the list, yes. But it is better
to report a
bug here:
http://pear.php.net/bugs/report.php?package=Documentati
on
(this avoids that your report gets lost)

Thank you.  The bug is now posted at
http://pea
r.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=10442.  Hopefully this will
help to fix
the issue for future developers.
