Yes, you now need pkg-php-tools v0.3 (just uploaded, but also in git)
and the attached patch.

Thanks.

I need to have most of the files from the current template, and
override some of them with package-specific files (changelog, patches,
copyright, possibly more). An hook after the templating and before the
build is also OK.

Yes.

I also need to check. But anything done upstream is better.

I'm currently using the attached script to build almost all the packages.

I will start this week, but as there are 94 packages on pear.horde.org!

(I can build 123 packages from source. 20 others don't have
package.xml, and 4 have a package.xml which doesn't validate)

I'm happy to have some free time. But it is flying ...
