testing for PEAR 1.5.0RC1 - 1 week to release

Hi,

It's that time again. I've uploaded PEAR 1.5.0RC1 as a tgz,
go-pear.phar, and install-pear-nozlib.phar to

http://pear.php.net/~greg

Please test the usual things:

1) pear up http://pear.php.net/~greg/PEAR-1.5.0RC1.tgz
2) download go-pear.phar and try using it on windows to install a fresh PEAR
3) download install-pear-nozlib.phar and try using it on unix/mac by
putting it in php/pear and running "make install-pear" in the PHP source
directory with PHP 5.1+
4) checkout pear-core, cd pear-core/tests and "pear run-tests -rq" all OSes
5) try running all of the commands shown by "pear help" and make sure
something hasn't slipped through the cracks.

Even though this is a beta release, I anticipate it to be the most
rock-solid PEAR version ever released, our new bug count is decreasing
to less than 1 every three w

s.

Thanks,
Greg

First try with PHP 4.4.4 on windows

PHP 4.4.4 (cli) (built: Aug 16 2006 01:17:55)
\wamp\php4\php -f go-pear.phar

gave me these results :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION
or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in C:\peartest\go-pear.phar on line 42

First try with PHP 5.2.0 on windows

PHP 5.2.0 (cli) (built: Nov 2 2006 11:57:36)
\wamp\php\php -f go-pear.phar

gave expected results. No surprise !

I've just realized that PHP_Archive since 0.6.0 is only PHP 5 compatible
that is the reason of error on PHP4.

Hi Laurent,

Yep :) .phar files require PHP 5.1.0+, sorry I forgot to mention this
important detail! Thanks for trying it out.
