Installing to Web Root Dir

[Igor Feghali-4]

Dear Friends,

Anyone please can help me getting this piece of package.xml:

   <dir name="www">
    <dir name="mdb2_schematool">
     <file name="action.php" role="www" />
     <file name="class.inc.php" role="www" />
     <file name="index.php" role="www" />
     <file name="result.php" role="www" />
    </dir>
   </dir> <!-- /www -->

actually installing files to web_root/mdb2_schematool instead of
web_root/www/mdb2_schematool ?

best regards,
Igor.

What does your PEAR configuration show for *www_dir*?  Is set to *
web_root/www*/ rather than *web_root/* ?

Hi Chuck,

by web_root I meant the path pointed by pear config www_dir. so it
would be web_root/.

regards,
Igor.

Try doing :

  <dir baseinstalldir="/" name="www">

That should do the trick.

I believe what you're looking for is the "install as" option in package.xml v2.

<phprelease>
       <filelist>
       <install as="mdb2_schematool/action.php"
name="www/mdb2_schematool/action.php" />
       <install as="mdb2_schematool/class.inc.php"
name="www/mdb2_schematool/class.inc.php" />
       <install as="mdb2_schematool/index.php"
name="www/mdb2_schematool/index.php" />
       <install as="mdb2_schematool/result.php"
name="www/mdb2_schematool/result.php" />
       </filelist>
</phprelease>

In PEAR_PackageFileManager2 you can use:
$pkg->addInstallAs('www/mdb2_schematool/action.php',
'mdb2_schematool/action.php');
...

Igor, could you try that and let us know if it works?

Yes it works. Having to specify those files twice (under <dire> and
<phprelease>) seems weird though.
Thanks a lot for the help.

I am now trying the "installexceptions" option of package file manager..

regards,
Igor.

You can see some usage of that *installexceptions *array in PhpDocumentor's
utility file that regenerates its *package.xml* file... it's the *
scripts/create_package.xml.php* file.

yeh it binds to "baseinstalldir" which doesn't work, as said
previously. don't you think its a bug ? I still don't see why I do
have to make use of "install as" instead of "baseinstalldir".. the
later sounds much more appropriate.

baseinstalldir serves to specify extra subdirectories, so that if your
package only installs into Extra/Long/Path, you can tell the installer
that files in directory "Here" should go into Extra/Long/Path/Here.

install as is designed to short-circuit long paths.

Pyrus, on the other hand, does some clever manipulation to allow what
you are trying to do, so PEAR2 will be much easier to work with.
