Mark,

That's because the package.xml doesn't specify the last release correctly.

Can you please explain what's wrong?

If I could package and release the last release, how can it be wrong
then?

I've resend it.

I don't know what people do when releasing a package; I do change the
package.xml and put the current version into CVS.

Look at the file:
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/...xml?view=markup
Date and Time do have a question mark in them.

I've gotta say my tool inspects the package.xml and package2.xml files
in CVS, it doesn't download the last release.

Ah sorry, didn't remember that there was a change after the last
release. And if I alter something, I reset date and time values because
I don't know the exact date for the next release. People using PFM might
don't do that because they update the XML file only directly before a
release, but I (not using PFM) like it for clarity this way.

For your statistics it is a problem, of course. A solution might be to
download the last tagged version from CVS. Don't know how expensive this
would be and whether everybody tags his releases.

Mark
