Pearadise.net now lists pat-releases

Saturday, September 24. 2005

This week, I finally managed to upgrade our server to the latest version of Chiara_PEAR_Server, which is now uses REST instead of XML-RPC. Besides all the new features this enables in our channel, one huge advantage of using REST is that I finally could add our channel to pearadise.net.

pearadise.net is the channel aggregation portal for PEAR compliant channel servers. So if you are looking for a package that solves a specific problem you do not need to search for this package on every website that offers, PEAR packages. You just go to pearadise.net and browse the listings of all channels that are registered there. If you are even more lazy than the average developer, you just use the search functionality offers. For example, if you are looking for a template engine, you just search for "template engine" using the form the website offers and it will list you all "official" template engines as well as Smarty and our own patTemplate.

There are already seven channels registered, which is really great, as the site is still in beta-state and PEAR 1.4.0, which brought us the channel features is only stable for a few days.

The developer behind pearadise.net is Tobias 'toby' Schlitt, who is well-known in the PEAR community for his work on the PEAR website and several PEAR packages. He is also a member of the PEAR-QA-Core-Team, so you can all rest assured that this new project of his will surely improve over the next time and will soon be the number one site to search for re-useable PEAR components. If you are maintaining a PEAR compliant channel, make sure to register your channel at pearadise.net.

How did you go about upgrading your channel to REST? I can't get any of the REST enabled Chiara_PEAR_Server packages to work for me. :/

BTW, you may be interested in the svn version of Crtx_PEAR_Channel_Frontend, but it hasn't had much testing as I can't upgrade the _Server

It does have a bunch of bug fixes however

I had to fix a small bug in the postinstall script, but apart from that, it worked like a charm. What kind of errors do you get?

I'll try to take a look at the SVN version of the frontend.

Well, when I try to install it from scratch, the post-install script does not work. Either the SQL install fails, or when I manually work around that, the data isn't inserted correctly.

Do you have a patch for the post-install script?

I do not have a patch. The only problem I experienced was a wrong absolute path for includes (C:\... instead of @php_bin@) which has been fixed by now. I did not install it from scratch, but just updated from the last PEAR_Server version before it has been renamed.
