Migration to PEAR2

See http://old.nabble.com/Moving-to-a-new-PEAR-website-to31515536.html

Goal

Swap the websites (and by extension, community) so that pear2.php.net is the way PEAR is perceived, interacted with and contributed to.

How?

Two options:

  • Sudden cutover - redirect traffic to pear2.php.net; use the migration pain to inspire contributions and improved functionality.
  • Phased migration - component by component swap processes such as PEPR over to feed into pear2; co-brand the pear.php.net front page experience; end of life unsupported packages.

Phased: Timeline & Tasks

  • Kill off news from pear.php.net1); or replace it with a new pear blog2).
  • Tweak PEPR to be a new package process for pear2
  • Enable both the PEAR and pyrus installer to understand “I have migrated to another channel”
    • Kill old packages from pear.php.net. With fire. Put them in an archive channel or other location
1)
simple release of pear_index
2)
install wordpress on test.pear.php.net; update pear_index to point at new rss; and write content
