I was not familiar with Pyrus, only with PEAR. After this talk I felt Pyrus could solve my problems. Too bas it's still in alpha :)
Plant Pyrus in your system - A guide to a plugin system
Helgi Þormar Þorbjörnsson (12.Jun.2010 at 14:30)
Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2010 (English - UK)
Anyone that has written a Content Management System or a blog system, has quickly realised that people will want to extend the functionality of the application and thus the developer has to embark on a journey to write a plugin system with everything that comes with that.|One of the biggest parts of any plugin system is the part that deals with discovery, installation, upgrading, dependency handling, infrastructure and other equally boring things. An essential part of any plugin system yet everyone dreads writing it, and few actually take on the task of writing it.||With Pyrus (the new PEAR installer) these tasks will not only be easy to do but also a joy. By embedding Pyrus in your application with its lavish new APIs you can use a tried and tested solution that hundred of thousands of people use every day on their command line, but you will be able to provide it right IN your tool, in your admin area, properly integrated with the layout and dictating the flow of the processes so it fits the ideologies of your software. Learn how to provide your users with fantastic experience, at the low price of using in the Pyrus installer in your application instead of trying to write your own solution.

I like Helgi as a speaker and PHP expert and I love the idea behind Pyrus.
The talk managed to draw my attention towards Pyrus, but unfortunately did not satisfy my curiosity.
I had the feeling this talk was not really well prepared and it actually didn't have enough practical information to convince me. A demo or some code would have been nice.
If Helgi plans another talk about this topic containing more practical info, I'll definitely check him out again (and possibly give it a 4 or 5 star rating).

Very interesting. I will sure test this in the near future for our own software.

Good introduction to Pyrus, but also to the general challenges and opportunities inherent in building a package management system.

Nice talk, but another 30 minutes or even more with more in-depth (technical) material plus some code examples would have been nice.
A good heads up and happy to see PEAR's ecosystem is alive and kicking.

Interesting talk by Helgi, I was expecting something a litle less high leven and more actual code, but then again Pyrus is still very much alpha it appears.
Quality was good.
