Please test PEAR 1.4.3

Hi all,

It's that time again! PEAR 1.4.3 is ready for shipping. There are 4
known issues:

- 1 test inexplicably fails on windows even though it is working
- the System test and config-create failure tests fail on linux
(gentoo). config-create failure test fails because my system can create
a file named "##\#/" which is surprising, as I didn't think you could
create files containing DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR :).
- one open bug postponed to 1.4.4 so we can get 1.4.3 into PHP 5.1
- one problem with running PEAR with the cgi PHP postposed until 1.4.4

Please:

1) run

$ pear upgrade http://pear.php.net/~greg/PEAR-1.4.3.tgz
$ pear channel-update pear

from PEAR 1.3.x and PEAR 1.4.x

2) run

- list-all
- remote-list
- info
- remote-info
- list
- list-upgrades
- upgrade
- install
- upgrade-all
- package
- convert
- pickle [pecl-specific]
- makerpm [unix-specific]

3) if possible, test the CVS version of PEAR_Frontend_Web, as this
version of PEAR should make it usable again.

Major fixes:

list-all/remote-list should be exponentially faster! (requires update of
channel protocol after upgrade)

Minor fixes:

lots of little things found in the release notes

I plan to release on Halloween (October 31), so please test ASAP.

- PEAR-1.4.3 *package* (not the installer) reports itself as 1.4.2

- list-all needs about more than a minute but works well
- remote-list instantly
- info ok on PEAR, lists installed version as 1.4.2
- remote-info needs about a minute and lists installed version 1.4.3
- list ok
- list-upgrades ok, lists XML_RPC 1.4.4 (1.4.3 initially installed)
- upgrade ok, XML_RPC
- install ok, -or HTTP_Download-1.0.0, -or Image_Graph-0.3.0, Image_Canvas-0.2.1
- upgrade-all ok, -d"preferred_state=alpha"

- pickle

C:\Source\pecl\http>\webserver\pear pickle
WARNING: Channel validator warning: field "providesextension" - package name "pecl_http" is different from extension name "http"

The two package.xml files are not equivalent!

Isn't pickle supposed to update pv1.xml? I can't remember that warnings with 1.4.2 (except the date ones).

Other info:
Windows 2000 with 1MBit link
