PEAR2 & Pyrus, the Look Ahead
Helgi Dorbjornsson (14.Nov.2008 at 13:00)
Talk at php|works/PyWorks (English - US)
Ever wondered what PEAR2 and Pyrus are all about? Want to know what they introduce and improve upon the old PEAR? A core member of the PEAR community will lead the attendees through the maze and enlighten them about all this and more.
This is an introduction into PEAR 2 and Pyrus by one of the PEAR group members that helped pave the way for the new PEAR PHP 5+ update, with a step by step guide into new ways introduced by PEAR 2 and the improvements Pyrus adds as the new PEAR2 installer. You will be introduced to the new bundles approach, phar, how to install your application and update it via Pyrus, how to update your internal application library code if it was originally a pear package or packaged as one (this is aimed at shared hosting people or those that don't want to use the global PEAR installation) and a slew of other improvements PEAR2 has in stock for you!

The talk sort of got bogged down at a couple of points as some of the "bad PEAR1 fu" points evolved into discussions about PEAR1. This ultimately left little time for the actual PEAR2 topics to be covered.
Next time, should probably spend less time dwelling on PEAR1 issues... I concede they help demonstrate some issues that PEAR2 plans to address, but perhaps restructure the slides such that each begins with a "PEAR2 item" that shows "it does this {foo} task" that leads to "it addresses issue {bar} that we learned from PEAR1". That way, there's PEAR2 info all throughout the talk, with just small hits of "bad PEAR1 fu" peppered here and there. By lumping all the PEAR1 issues at the front, I was feeling slightly depressed at the midpoint of the talk ;-P
