I am reposting this from fedora php-devel list to get a bigger audience. My questions are not that PHP specific: I got two questions regarding my effort to package more of the php-qa packages for fedora. I have made a package for phpUnderControl now, but to use it you still have to install CruiseControl by hand. phpUnderControl also patches the CruisceControl installation, so it isn't something that can easily packaged as an RPM. Does it still make sense to bring phpUnderControl into Fedora even though it requires an external software package? Second question: I would love to have a meta package which brings all of these packages ( phpunit, phpmd, phpcpd, phpdoc, phpcs, Mockery, ...) together and allows installation with one yum command. But as far as I could detect from the random posts it seems that meta packages are not really wanted on Fedora. An alternative is the comps list, but that doesn't allow for rapid changes and phpqa would be a bit specific. A third option would be to make something like phpUnderControl require all of these. The pear package already suggests some of them, but it isn't a hard require. My final goal is to make Fedora the best development environment for PHP, where you can get the full set-up of tools just with a few (or one) yum command. Ideally this would work on RHEL too, but I guess not before 6.0 and not for much after that because the shipped PHP release will too old again. With the Remi repository it would also work on older RHEL. Any suggestions are welcome :-) Cheers, Christof -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
