Package Info
-------------
This package revolutionizes the maintenance of PEAR packages.  With a few pa
rameters,
the entire package.xml is automatically updated with a listing of all files 
in a package.
Features include
- can detect PHP and extension dependencies using PHP_CompatInfo
- reads in an existing package.xml file, and only changes the release/change
log
- a plugin system for retrieving files in a directory.  Currently two plugin
s
exist, one for standard recursive directory content listing, and one that
reads the CVS/Entries files and generates a file listing based on the conten
ts
of a checked out CVS repository
- incredibly flexible options for assigning install roles to files/directori
es
- ability to ignore any file based on a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s)
- ability to include only files that match a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s)
- ability to manage dependencies
- can output the package.xml in any directory, and read in the package.xml
file from any directory.
- can specify a different name for the package.xml file

PEAR_PackageFileManager is fully unit tested.
