Description Tim Jackson 2008-03-11 22:19:37 UTC
I am really not convinced that /usr/share/pear is a good place for the PEAR
"dotfiles", namely:

.depdb
.depdblock
.filemap
.lock
.pkgxml
.registry

These should really be in /var.

A useful comparison is with RPM - PEAR is also a package manager. All RPM's
internal databases etc. are in /var/lib/rpm.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 05:57:35 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2008-10-28 16:45:30 UTC
I agree with this other for the .pkgxml directory, which is static packaged data.

I would think that putting these files under /var/lib/pear and maybe simply %ghosting them in php-pear, would work.

Anybody want to take this up for F11?  Not sure if it'll require major surgery on PEAR.

Comment 3 Tim Jackson 2008-10-29 12:50:00 UTC
It shouldn't be too major surgery, but it will require some small patches to the source, as the code currently bases all the locations of those files on the config option "php_dir" (i.e. /usr/share/pear).

Comment 4 Joe Orton 2008-10-29 12:57:12 UTC
OK, great.  Occurred to me that /var/lib/php/pear might be the right place to put this stuff, since we already have a /var/lib/php.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 23:43:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 13:57:18 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
