Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Hey Francois, Derick,
Suffice to say - I've enjoyed working on Xdebug with you both, and hope to continue that into the future :D (Well, My name's on the package now and I don't intend to orphan it *just* yet!) Anyway, the reason I came to look at Xdebug was simply the fact that it's something I want to be using with my PHP applications (and will be forced to use at work too I presume!), along with a couple of other things. I'm also interested in looking at other frameworks, and, after hearing Derick pimping eZcomponents so much at the PHP London Conference, I decided to have a look at it, and wrote a new script using it (http://files.sourceguru.net/lr-mirror.phps) to have a look at how well it worked. Anyway, installing it on my server was a bit of a pain in the ass! And, having gone back to the old script today to add to it and get it running on another server, I came across the fact that I needed to install eZcomponents again. This got me thinking. It'd be nice if eZcomponents was packaged for debian so that I could get it installed easily. I had a quick word with Derick, who said that there shouldn't be any issues (apart from possibly fonts - which he's checking on) that would disallow this from happening. He also came up with a nice thought:- <Derick> the coolest way would be if it could be done per component actually Which got me thinking - this wouldn't be hard to do at all. This could be built from one source package, and have packages for each component with the correct dependencies. So the base classes would go into say, ezcomponents-base, and then a component like, for example, WorkflowDatabaseTieIn would have Depends: ezcomponents-base, ezcomponents-database, ezcomponents-workflow I think this would actually be a neat way to package this, allowing the end-user to only install those bits of ezcomponents that they need. Francois, if you're willing, I'd like to work with you on this aswell as Xdebug, and, after all, I do need a sponsor ;) This email also acts as my Intent to Package, and has been submitted to the BTS as such. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
