Upstream removed many of the modules contained within the Pear package and they were subsequently removed from the debian package (most notably the DB and HTML modules). This package contains the DB module that used to be contained in php4-pear. Cheers, Andi -- Chris Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Actually I just noticed, this module stayed in upstream (I was thinking of something else). I'll update the bug tonight and close it.

Any chance of changing that package name slightly? Most PHP libraries have
taken the libphp-foo path, rather than just php-foo. I think this is a
good naming convention to follow, personally.
Actually, the naming convention was decided after speaking with Steve
Langasek and Adam Conrad (among other people) in #debian-devel for some
time. It was decided php{3,4,5}-foo would be for compiled php
extensions and php-foo would be for PEAR modules that were not part of
the main upstream PEAR package. I have logs available if you wish to see
them :)
* URL : http://pear.php.net/
You can get a little more explicit than that:
http://pear.php.net/package/DB.
Noted, I'll be more specific with any future PEAR ITPs.

Perhaps Database abstraction module for PHP? Then put the stuff about it
being the PEAR standard as the beginning of the long description?
And I've got a SQLRelay abstractor for you, as well, which upstream rejected
because SQLRelay is an abstraction layer of it's own, if you want it.
