pear install thru dab

[apmuthu]

On trying to install some php pear packages using DAB, the following error occurs:

install: php-pear
install: libssh2-1
install: php5-curl
dab exec pear install --alldeps MAIL Net_SMTP
No releases available for package "pear.php.net/MAIL"
No releases available for package "pear.php.net/Net_SMTP"
install failed
ve_exec failed - status 1
ve_exec failed - status 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

The relevant code fragment in the Makefile that DAB used is:

    dab install php-pear
    dab exec pear install --alldeps MAIL Net_SMTP

The output of dpkg --get-selections | grep pear shows that pear is installed:

php-pear                                        install

How do we then install pear packages thru DAB?

Re: pear install thru dab - workaround

Looks like pear and pecl cannot be directly installed using DAB. The following workaround seems to work.

Download the following attachment and place it in the DAB build folder:

View attachment pearmailpkgs.zip

Use the following in the Makefile:

    dab install php5-curl php5-xsl php5-xmlrpc php-pear
#    dab pear download MAIL Net_SMTP Auth_SASL Net_Socket
    unzip -o pearmailpkgs.zip -d ${BASEDIR}/usr/src/
    dab exec pear install /usr/src/Mail-1.2.0.tgz /usr/src/Net_SMTP-1.6.1.tgz /usr/src/Auth_SASL-1.0.6.tgz /usr/src/Net_Socket-1.0.10.tgz
    rm -f ${BASEDIR}/usr/src/Mail-1.2.0.tgz
    rm -f ${BASEDIR}/usr/src/Net_SMTP-1.6.1.tgz
    rm -f ${BASEDIR}/usr/src/Auth_SASL-1.0.6.tgz
    rm -f ${BASEDIR}/usr/src/Net_Socket-1.0.10.tgz
