Incorrect. There is a web interface which I use EXCLUSIVELY to maintain
the
contents of my PEAR library.
You only work in a web interface instead of an editor and version
control
system?
PEAR does not have a version control system. My software has an SVN
repository, but that is totally unconnected with PEAR. My choice of
editor
has no bearing on the issue.
It has, whether you need it or not is not really relevant to this
discussion.
I use the web interface to maintain PEAR on my local machine, and my
hosting
companies provide a web interface in their control panels.
Happy to see there are still users for this tool, Christian and I had
good fun writing it. Also you should know that this package is dead,
it has no acttve maintainer (I was the last one) and has some
limitations from to begin with, also was very handy at time especially
for shared hosting without shell access.
Typical. You create a useful tool, get your users hooked, then walk away and
leave them dangling.
