sample chapter of PEAR Installer Manifesto available

Shameless promotion time!

Packt has put up a sample chapter, Chapter 5 "PEAR Channels: releasing to the world" up at http://www.packtpub.com/files/SampleChapter-The-PEAR-Installer-Manifesto.pdf. Check it out to see what you're missing if you don't already own the book.

This chapter describes in detail how to set up a channel using the Chiara_PEAR_Server package from pear.chiaraquartet.net, and why channels are one of the killer features in PEAR 1.4.x+

There's something wrong in "What this Book covers":

"Chapter 1 introduces you to the PEAR installer. ~~~We begin with a look at the you to the PEAR
installer. We begin with a look at~~~ the traditional unzip-and-go method of distributing PHP
software and compare its advantages and disadvantages to the PEAR installer's package-based
method of distributing PHP software."

Thanks David,

It looks like they cut and pasted poorly from the original, I don't recall that in the proof, I'll have to check the final book.

If you find other errors, please report them at

David,
“apologies for the error in the original sample chapter, this has now been corrected.” Please have a look once again.
Sorry once again.
