Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] * Package name : php-pie Version : 1.4.9 Upstream Author : James Titcumb & contributors * URL : https://github.com/php/pie * License : BSD-3-Clause Programming Lang: PHP Description : PHP Installer for Extensions
PIE is the official installer for PHP extensions, which replaces PECL (which is now deprecated). PIE is distributed as a PHAR, just like Composer, and works in a similar way to Composer, but it installs PHP extensions (PHP Modules or Zend Extensions) to your PHP installation, rather than pulling PHP packages into your project or library. Notes: - Debian currently pacakges the PECL installer as part of 'php-pear'; PIE is the official replacement for PECL, and rapidly becoming the recommended way to install PHP extensions from source. - The 'composer' package is also related, as PIE shares some of its code and infrastructure. - An RPM package has been created for Fedora/EPEL here: https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/pie/pie/
