Please add the LICENSE File

[Parent5446]

The license is included at the bottom of the README file. The packaging guidelines you listed have no requirement that the license be in its own file. It only says "If the source package does not include the text of the license(s), the packager should contact upstream and encourage them to correct this mistake." But since the source package does include in the text of the license, we're in the clear.

Yes, sorry, I miss it.

But, the README is mostly a "INSTALL" file. So its content have no interest to be packaged (when the package is installed, those instruction are no more usefull).

The reason why it is cleaner to have separate README, INSTALL, POSTINSTALL, LICENSE files.

But, we can live with a single file...

I would suggest to follow @remicollet advice.

We will certainly add some checks soon to pecl.php.net to reject a release if LICENSE is missing.

@pierrejoye I was under the impression that pecl checked the package.xml file for the license?

[pierrejoye]

not for the LICENSE file.

Additional note : the README.md and CREDITS files should also role="doc"
