[pkg-php-pear] Bug#677387: debpear: Should allow manual download with prior pear download

[Olivier Berger]

Package: debpear
Version: 0.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

It would be handy to have an option to manually download a package, then process it.

I've tried doing it for phpCAS, whose instructions say : pear install  http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz

So, I did :
$ pear download http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz
$ mkdir build-area
$ cd build-area
$ ln -s ../current.tgz CAS-1.3.1.tgz

Then I commented out the pear download in line 56, and did :
$ debpear -p CAS

Tada !

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
