[Phpmyadmin-devel] PEAR Packaged phpMyAdmin

by Clay Loveless

Hello, pMA devs! : ) I'm working on a project that leverages PEAR 1.4.0's robust packaging system that aims to bring PHP application distribution to the level of ease that is available to users of Debian Linux's apt-get system. To that end, I have prepared a phpMyAdmin PEAR installable package that I would like your feedback on. In order to make phpMyAdmin PEAR 1.4.0 compatible, there were only two modifications to the phpMyAdmin traditional distribution. 1. When installed, config.inc.php becomes config.inc.php.dist, so that future package upgrades do not overwrite existing configuration. 2. A slight version numbering change, as PEAR only supports letters, numbers and dots in versions. So, 2.6.3-pl1 became 2.6.3pl1 in this example. To install the PEARified package, follow these steps: 1. Get PEAR installed If you're already got PEAR running on your machine, we'll work with that. If you don't, or if you want to use a localized PEAR installation, just follow these instructions: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php 2. Upgrade to PEAR 1.4.0a12 To upgrade to the alpha version of PEAR that supports channels, run these commands. $ pear config-set preferred_state alpha $ pear upgrade -o PEAR 3. Set up the Pearified.com channel With PEAR 1.4.0a12, run this command: $ pear channel-discover pearified.com 4. Install the Role_Web package. This package is what makes the installation of a web front-end application easy with PEAR 1.4.0. Note that there is a post-install script to run ... So do these things: $ pear install pearified/Role_Web $ pear run-scripts pearified/Role_Web 5. Install the phpMyAdmin package The installer will put the installation in a directory of '/pma' inside of whatever directory you specified after installing the Role_Web package. This package isn't released yet, so it will install a little bit differently for the time being: $ pear install http://pearified.com/testing/DB_phpMyAdmin-2.6.3pl1.tgz Once released, this package would be installed like this: $ pear install pearified/DB_phpMyAdmin But, that won't work right now. That's it! Once those steps are completed, copy config.inc.php.dist to config.inc.php, configure as needed, and you'll be up and running. A future enhancement to this package is a post-install script that steps users through the process of setting up config.inc.php. I am eager for your feedback! Please let me know if any of you have trouble installing the package. If you're interested, I would like to discuss maintaining this package going forward so that we may open up a new convenient installation option for phpMyAdmin. I am willing to maintain that package, or I would also be happy to help out the phpMyAdmin development team in taking over the maintenance of the PEAR package. Thanks for your time!
