Re: OpenID and proposed components

I haven't heard much about PEAR2 - does anyone have a link
to a good summary?

What I will do is try an email to the current
Math_BigInteger package lead. The only real change to a
Math_BigInteger2 would be basic PHP4->PHP5 syntax
updates. There is no extra functionality PHP5 offers in this
area.

Thanks!

If Math_BigInteger is PHP4 and your package is PHP5 then
it's not
supposed to depend on it. I'd suggest proposing your
Crypt_Math as
Math_BigInteger2 (PEAR2). Also remember that in general if
you're
continuing a package already in PEAR then you shold try to
work with
the current maintainers of those packages and that a
proposal maynot
be needed.

I'll defer to the Group, though, to set the precedent for
PEAR2 as the
rules for PEAR2 are not really set as yet, AFAIK. I'd
suggest that we
allow PHP5 package that replace PHP4 ones as proposals as
long as the
original maintainer isn't actively working on a PHP5
version.

We should have a big announcement about PEAR2 on sunday,
were still 
working out what all the rules would be.

But in general its a new channel for php5 only code
All code is prefixed with PEAR2 (so new code for it would be

PEAR2_Math_BigInteger not Math_BigInteger2)
There is a new scheme for handling includes
There is a slightly different acceptance method,
(voting/approval is 
moved to beta release with no alpha releases on the public
channel)

Were also not quite there infrastructure wise (channel
server, pyrus 
installer) but if your willing to wait a month or so for
your first 
public release you can start targetting PEAR2 now.
