PHP-Parser PEAR channel

It'd be great to be able to install this via PEAR.
This parser would be good in the PHP code coverage tool as well: currently the only way to detect php source lines in uncovered files is to include them :(

Really, I'd love to make this available via PEAR, but my past experiences with PEAR were so terrible that I don't think that I can do it :( I'm glad that after several hours of hard work I actually have a running pear command on my computer ^^ I don't want to know what a hassle it has to be to publish a package...

Thanks to Pirum, providing a PEAR channel is a non-issue.

I found this after a bit of googling: http://blog.stuartherbert.com/php/2011/09/22/php-components-publishing-your-pear-channel-on-github/

Edit: this one is shorter: http://saucelabs.com/blog/index.php/2011/04/how-to-serve-php-packages-with-github/

Hope that helps!

http://www.pearhub.org/ is really easy too! Highly recommended. If you want, I can register PHP-Parser there for you. Pearhub will then automatically pick up new tags and create releases for them. http://www.pearhub.org/faq

There is alternative http://openpear.org/ :-) , openpear supports PEAR packaging from git.

@sebastianbergmann Thanks to the articles posted by @leth setting up the PEAR channel was surprisingly easy. But I can't figure out how one can now generate a package.xml. Do you use some kind of tool for that? All blog posts I found on the topic were using some old, deprecated and not even installing cli tool.

@runekaagaard I actually tried that, but it didn't work out. Just says "Building" (for a week already ^^)

generating package.xml is pretty ad-hoc or at least I am not familiar with a tool that would do that. Here is how I do it in Imagine - https://github.com/avalanche123/Imagine/blob/develop/Rakefile#L110, hope this helps

How about PEAR_PackageFileManager_Cli? :)

Thanks to all the help I was able to create a PEAR channel and publish the package: http://nikic.github.com/pear/ I hope everything worked out fine :)
