Author About PEAR 1.6.2 on Windows platform

Hi,

I've just upgraded my local PEAR version from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 and I found
a strange behavior that was not in previous versions. Perharps
someone can explain me what's happened.


Strange behavior is to see tarball opened with associated windows
application when I run this command on DOS box :

pear upgrade e:\pear\pear-1.6.2.tgz

Almost same behavior when I run this command :

pear -c pear.ini e:\pear\pear-1.6.2.tgz

Notepad is opened with pear.ini contents.


Is it a new bug or a new feature (I hope not) !

Regards

Hi Laurent,

I have never heard of this and can't reproduce the behavior. Perhaps
others can confirm? Are you running Windows Vista or something? I have
XP professional.

Hi Greg,

First attempt was at work when I tried to upgrade PEAR on windows XP
SP2, and I thought I've imagine what' happened.
But when I upgrade my PEAR version on my personal PC with Windows XP SP2
(too) I've the same behavior.

Hope that someone can confirm this strange thing. I'll try to
investigate when I'll have more free time

I can confirm this. After the last line of the following output the
"with which program do you want to open the file" window openend.
(I don't have associated .tgz with any program. Total Commander is smart
enough to be able to open .tgz files itself.)

| C:\data\htdocs>pear upgrade PEAR-1.6.2.tgz
| Did not download optional dependencies: pear/XML_RPC, use --alldeps to download
| automatically
| upgrade ok: channel://pear.php.net/PEAR-1.6.2
| PEAR: Optional feature webinstaller available (PEAR's web-based installer)
| PEAR: Optional feature gtkinstaller available (PEAR's PHP-GTK-based installer)
| PEAR: Optional feature gtk2installer available (PEAR's PHP-GTK2-based installer)
|
| PEAR: To install optional features use "pear install pear/PEAR#featurename"

Regards,
Mark
