old releases with invalid package.xml

Hi all,

Due to the moves I've been making to REST, several ancient releases and
a few newer ones have come to light that do not have valid package.xml.
In particular, every single one of File_Ogg's releases is invalid, due
to the use of:

<dep type="php" rel="ge">0.4.1</dep>

instead of

<dep type="php" rel="ge" version="0.4.1"/>

This means the package is not installable with PEAR 1.4.0 at all,
because it is one of the first PEAR versions that actually validates
package.xml. I would suggest pulling all three releases and
re-releasing them with corrected package.xml. This should be possible
with some cvs checkout and re-release magic by anyone in QA.

I have not discovered any other packages where every release is invalid,
so this will not affect many packages.

Greg
