Zend Framework Gets An Unofficial PEAR Channel

Thanks to the phpmafia, the Zend Framework has a “PEAR”:http://pear.php.net/ channel that you can use to install it from. Details can be found on “the author’s blog”:http://fashion.hosmoz.net/post/2007/02/27/Channel-PEAR-PHPMafia-package-Zend-Framework, however, they are in French. Babelfish will translate them for you but it ends up sounding like a passage out of “Borat”:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443453/. So I’ll paraphrase for you and give you the details.

The author, Geoffrey, with some help from “Arnaud Limbourg”:http://www.limbourg.com/arnaud/blog/, has created a PEAR channel to use in installing Zend Framework. As with any PEAR channel, the first thing you have to do is tell PEAR to go “discover” the channel.

pear channel-discover pear.phpmafia.net

p. Then, you just tell it to install.

pear install phpmafia/Zend-0.8.0

p. Since this is Geoffrey’s first attempt at a PEAR channel, he is asking for people to test it and report any problem they have with it to pear at phpmafia dot net

Discovery of channel "pear.phpmafia.net" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "http://pear.phpmafia.net/channel.xml&quot

Also, it’s easier to use ‘beta’ rather than the version number:

pear install phpmafia/Zend-beta

(This gets 0.9.2 at last count)

you can then do pear upgrade phpmafia/Zend-beta

And once version 1.0 comes out, I guess you can drop the ‘beta’!

There is an alternative channel at http://code.google.com/p/zend/

Just do
pear channel-discover zend.googlecode.com/svn
pear install zend/zend

this one is up-to-date (i know because i just set it up)

The aforementioned 2 channels haven’t got up to date yet with ZF v1.5.0 (it’s only been out a few days though)

You can get it as follows:

pear channel-discover http://pear.pecanz.net/

pear install pecanz/Zend

(I will continue to update this channel with releases for stable versions of ZF, as and when they are released)

http://code.google.com/p/zend/
That’s the only channel that seem to be updated on a regular basis.
Is only ZF-minimal , without ZF Tools command line, for the moment

pear channel-discover zend.googlecode.com/svn
pear install zend/zend

OR older releases:
pear install zend/zend-1.7.8
