Hi Tomas ! Thanks for your proposals.
> Create .deb package and make it dependent on PHP for Debian/Ubuntu. Debian > has docs and tools that allow to do that. PHP is in standard Debian/Ubuntu > software repository. > This solution does not provide me one of the goal I need to reach : that my users be able to use the tool even if they already have PHP installed on their system but with a version not compatible with the tool. Let me explain why : the goal of the tool is to provide command line actions for team (dev team) members, such as the ones (but not only) provided by tools like zf / sf / maven (but not sticked to a specific framework and working with all frameworks), so the targeted users are already using PHP but with specific version of PHP (depending on the need for the application they are currently developing). I would like to be able to provide all the features my tool provide to those teams BUT without the need for these team to "upgrade" the version of PHP they are using on their desktop (mostly PHP 5.2) > Distribute .phar package alone for users who already have PHP. List PHP > extensions your package depends on. > This solution is already in use, but not perfect, for the problem I described above, at least, because a small percentage of my targetted users (at this moment) are using PHP 5.3+ > Create automated installer for Windows which downloads PHP from the > network. See microsoft web platform installer for more ideas. > This is a possible solution if installing PHP in a custom directory without system-wide installation and if 2 version of PHP can coexist on the same filesystem without conflicts on extensions/php.ini/system variables, do you have links ? (I will google it) IMHO your package license is not compatible with PHP license. You can't > distribute PHP with BSD license. > OK, I was not aware of this limitation. It is not a problem to modify the license of the tool to one that is compatible with PHP license, my purpose is to share something, not to sell it. Do you (are others) have advice on this specific points ? Thanks !
