Hi,

Yes, I know, I've been a bit overloaded, and I'm sorry for that. Pinging
me once more for this is the right thing to do, so thanks for insisting,
and do not fear to insist again if I forget to reply to you next time.
Also, please make sure that you join the pkg-php-pear list on Alioth,
which I believe is a better place than just my own private mailbox.

I had a look at the package, and indeed, it is up to shape for an
upload. But I have a concern. It has a dependency on php-xml-parser,
which currently has issues with PHP 5.4:

http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19325
http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19326

So I guess that your package will be affected as well. That's a problem
for packages that are working with XML, because each time there's an
error on the output, it can break the XML which you are trying to produce.

Also, did you test yourself php-xml-beautifier with SID, and the new PHP
5.4?

Last thing, it'd be great if you could maintain your package in the
PKG-PHP Alioth group, and upload on the Git there. I believe I'm now an
administrator of the group, so I can accept any requests. What do you think?

Cheers,

Thomas
