pearpkg2: minimal version on dependency automatically set max and recommended

[Christian Weiske <cweiske@…>]

When specifying only the minimum version of a dependency, I automatically get the maximal and recommended version set. This is semantically totally different, because I want people to simply update their packages.

Code:

     <mapping name="deps">
       <element>
         <element key="channel" value="pear.php.net" />
         <element key="name"    value="HTML_QuickForm2" />
         <element key="version" value="0.4.0" />
       </element>
     </mapping>

Result:

   <package>
    <name>HTML_QuickForm2</name>
    <channel>pear.php.net</channel>
    <min>0.4.0</min>
    <max>0.4.0</max>
    <recommended>0.4.0</recommended>
   </package>

Solution: <min> and <recommended> should not be set automatically, only when specified explicitely.

You are right: "min", "max", and "recommended" are set to "version", if they are not explicitly specified. You advise not to auto-set "min" and "recommended", but auto-set "max" only?

Can you elaborate why current setting is semantically wrong?

err. <max> and <recommended> should not be set automatically. Sorry.

(In [839]) Refs #525: "version" option sets only "min"

"max" and "recommended" are set only when specified explicitly
