PEAR installation question

[Jaelan Alianto]

Hey guys,
Like an idiot, while trying to troubleshoot a problem with the PEAR_Info package I was having, I deleted the /usr/share/php/.registry directory (which is where PEAR_Info determines what packages are installed)

So, I unmerged all my PEAR packages and re-emerged php as well as the PEAR packages. Unfortunately, this didn't update the .registry directory (it recreated it, but didn't put the .reg file in)

Any help on how to get the .registry folder update the pear packages?

Newer dev-php/PEAR-PEAR packages don't anymore install anything to .registry when installing a PEAR package via emerge, doing that gave various problem when people tried to upgrade/install/remove packages installed via emerge using the pear binary (as emerge doesn't know what packages are installed etc. manually using the pear command, and viceversa pear does not know what packages are installed through emerge).

Thanks for your reply. I would have responded sooner, but I never got a reply-to-post e-mail, so I figured no one had.

My bad. So, to utilize PEAR_Info, would you recommend just using the pear install cmd, instead of emerge? That's what I'm doing right now, but just curious if there's another solution.

Thanks,
Jaelan
