Description
I'm new to Phing and as I would need some of 2.4rc1 nice new tasks I tried to install the 2.4RC1 via Pear. Then I just set the config state to beta and "pear install phing/phing".
And well I'm not sure I'm the bug.. :) but I had a few problems to make it work ( tried on Debian lenny and Mandriva 2009.1, had the same behavior ).. Indeed it was not usable, I got errors. First it seems that the /usr/bin/phing file was not properly initialized ( some @@ values remaining ). The file "Project.php" also contained a dynamic value ( @DATA_DIR@ ) that was not set. From this point it still was not working as it seemed to lack a few "properties" default files in the installed package, I mean three files were missing : tasks/default.properties, types/default.properties and etc/VERSION.txt . I could find them in the tar.gz package, then I just made them available in my pear repository and now working like a charm!
As I'm not sure that a part of building was missing on this pear package, I then wanted to let you know as I guess others might also face it. However, I may be wrong in the way I installed it, maybe I missed some steps ( maybe there's a dedicated process for RCs but didn't find about it ).
Anyway thanks for this nice tool I'll be able to test and play now!
