XML_CSSML, XML_XPath

Forwarding the following from a fellow Gentoo developer:

The tests for XML_CSSML and XML_XPath appear to fail because they are
trying to re-assign $this, which php 5 at least doesn't appear to like.
Note that this is happening in the classes inside of the individual
packages and not in the example php files.

Helgi Þormar Þorbjörnsson fixed XML_CSSML in CVS. Could someone please
test his changes and roll a new release? Thanks!

I didn't tho fix the issue of wrong installation path, which is a
potential BC issue.

See: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5574

QA needs to come to some conclusion what should be done.

Sounds like the only reasonable thing we can do now. (Apart from banning
such a nightmare of a package from PEAR.)

Thanks,

Got the following message from my fellow Gentoo developer:

When testing PEAR-XML_XPath, I found that it appears to depend on the
PEAR_Error class provided by PEAR-PEAR. However, the current version
of PEAR-PEAR appears to have deprecated PEAR_Error in favor of
PEAR_ErrorStack.

Also, in trying to test that PEAR-XML_XPath actually works, the
example script XML_XPath_example.php fails with the following;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_open_mem() in
/usr/share/php/XML/XPath.php on line 142

It looks like XML_XPath needs a "PHP 4 only" dependency, too, just like
XML_CSSML.

This is false, it has not been deprecated and probably never will be,
ErrorStack is simply a more sophisticated alternative to PEAR_Error.

Also "false", if one takes a look at www.php.net/domxml then you can see
it's a PECL ext that is said to "work" on PHP 5, so placing a domxml
dep is the way to go, then again, how well does it "work" under PHP 5 ?
Well maybe PHP 4 dep is the way to go if one wants no problem from this
thing, guess someone should write a decent PHP 5 support to XPath.

PHP 5 has out-of-the-box support for XPath in both DOM and SimpleXML.
