package - create a packaged release in phar, tar, tgz or zip format
Introduction
Thepackagecommand is available through the developer tools. If you do not have the developer tools installed, simply runphp pyrus.phar packageand Pyrus will ask if you would like to install the developer tools. If you assent with the wordyes, Pyrus will automatically download them and install them for you.
The package command bundles up the files of a package and its package.xml into an archive for distribution. It accepts a single optional argument, the path to a package.xml.
If the optional path is not provided, the command
searches for a file named package.xml in the current
directory. If this file is an older version 1.0, it also searches for
package2.xml in the current directory, and uses that
as the package file. This allows creating packages that are compatible
with ancient versions of PEAR older than version 1.4.0
If package.xml exists and is
a PEAR2 package (requires pear installer version equal to or newer than
2.0.0a1), the command will also look for a file
in the current directory named package_compatible.xml.
This file should be a package.xml customized for use by the PEAR Installer,
and is automatically generated by the make
command unless explicitly prevented. This file makes it possible for the
PEAR Installer to install packages generated for Pyrus.
The created archive can be in any or all of the following formats:
- phar
- tar
- tgz
- zip
The formats are requested by passing their name as an option like so:
php pyrus.phar package --phar --tar --tgz --zip
.
The phar file format is a format that can be used to
create self-installing archives, or even archives that are self-contained
commands. pyrus.phar, for instance, is a complete
application that runs directly from its archive. Due to security
considerations, the ability to create executable phar archives is disabled
by default. To create a phar archive, the phar.readonly
php.ini setting must be disabled like so:
php -dphar.readonly=0 pyrus.phar package --phar
The tar and tgz file formats are the
formats familiar to users of PEAR. tgz is a gzipped tar
archive, and requires the zlib extension be enabled in
order to create it.
The zip file format is most familiar to Windows users.
PEAR2 packages
All packages designed for Pyrus automatically have PEAR2/Autoload.php,
PEAR2/Exception.php, PEAR2/MultiОшибки.php,
and PEAR2/MultiОшибки/Exception.php bundled so that
these dependencies are available when a package is extracted without use of
Pyrus to install it. Packages designed for installation by the PEAR Installer
and not for Pyrus do not bundle any dependencies.
Package signing
Pyrus supports creating archives that have a mandatory signature using
OpenSSL certificates such as those available from
CACert. Signed archives
cannot be processed without the presence of the openssl
PHP extension. In addition, a bug in the phar extension's
verification of openssl signatures requires PHP version 5.3.1
or newer. Creation of signatures only requires PHP version 5.3.0
or newer.
To create a package signature, set the
openssl_cert
configuration variable to the path of your PKCS#12 certificate (generally
saved with a file extension of p12), and the
handle
configuration variable to your handle in package.xml.
--stub
The --stub or -s option specifies
a PHP script to use as the stub to a phar archive, and is ignored if
--phar is not passed to the command. The stub is a
short executable script that is executed as a boot strap when a phar
archive is passed to PHP like
php pyrus.phar
. All stubs
must end with the __HALT_COMPILER(); directive to be a
valid stub.
If the --stub option is not explicitly specified and
a phar archive is being created, Pyrus will look for a file named
stub.php in the same directory as the package.xml, and
will use that as the stub for the phar archive if found.
Here is pyrus's stub:
<?php
if (version_compare(phpversion(), '5.3.0', '<')) {
if (substr(phpversion(), 0, 5) != '5.3.0') {
// this small hack is because of running RCs of 5.3.0
echo "Pyrus requires PHP 5.3.0 or newer.\n";
exit -1;
}
}
foreach (array('phar', 'spl', 'pcre', 'simplexml') as $ext) {
if (!extension_loaded($ext)) {
echo 'Extension ', $ext, " is required\n";
exit -1;
}
}
try {
Phar::mapPhar();
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Cannot process Pyrus phar:\n";
echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
exit -1;
}
function pyrus_autoload($class)
{
$class = str_replace('_', '\\', $class);
if (file_exists('phar://' . __FILE__ . '/php/' . implode('/', explode('\\', $class)) . '.php')) {
include 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/php/' . implode('/', explode('\\', $class)) . '.php';
}
}
spl_autoload_register("pyrus_autoload");
$frontend = new \PEAR2\Pyrus\ScriptFrontend\Commands;
@array_shift($_SERVER['argv']);
$frontend->run($_SERVER['argv']);
__HALT_COMPILER();
--extrasetup
The --extrasetup or -e option
is used to specify the path to a PHP script that is used to include
files in the created packages that are not in the package.xml list of
files. This is used to create archives that are designed to be friendly to
users simply "trying before they buy" the archive, or to provide
support files needed to create self-installing archives.
If the --extrasetup option is not explicitly specified,
then Pyrus looks for a file named extrasetup.php in the
same directory as the package.xml, and will use this if found.
The extrasetup script should create a variable named $extrafiles
that contains an associative array mapping relative path within the archive
to an absolute path of a file on disk.
Here is Pyrus's extrasetup, which demonstrates bundling of the required dependencies PEAR2_HTTP_Request and PEAR2_Console_Commandline:
<?php
/**
* This file generates the pyrus.phar file and PEAR2 package for Pyrus.
*/
$rp = __DIR__ . '/../HTTP_Request/src/HTTP';
$cc = __DIR__ . '/../sandbox/Console_CommandLine/src/Console';
