PHPUnit packages and PEAR (installer) minimal version required

Latest packages available in PHPUnit channel require PEAR installer >=
1.9.1.

I have made tests and don't encounter any issue with previous version.

Can you consider keeping this version as low as possible, and only raise
this when a bug in pear installer affects your packages ?

Why ?

For now, RHEL-6 (in RC stage) provides PEAR 1.9.0, and will probably
keep this version for the distro life, like RHEL-5 stay in 1.4.9 :(
(security bug, if discovered, will be backport without changing version)

We have a lot of PHPUnit package in EPEL repository for RHEL-6 (and for
the future clone, like CentOS 6), maintains by 3 packagers :

	php-phpunit-bytekit 1.1.1
	php-phpunit-DbUnit 1.0.0
	php-phpunit-File-Iterator 1.2.3
	php-phpunit-PHP-CodeCoverage 1.0.0
	php-phpunit-PHP-Timer 1.0.0
	php-phpunit-PHP-TokenStream 1.0.1
	php-phpunit-phpcpd 1.3.2
	php-phpunit-phpdcd 0.9.2
	php-phpunit-PHPUnit 3.5.3
	php-phpunit-PHPUnit-MockObject 1.0.1
	php-phpunit-PHPUnit-Selenium 1.0.0
	php-phpunit-Text-Template 1.0.0

 The PEAR package itself also provides the functionality used by
 PHPUnit to run PHPT tests. http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17292
 is the reason why PEAR 1.9.1 is required.

 That was my opinion as well back when I maintained PHP and PEAR
 packages for Gentoo Linux. Now, however, I think that the PEAR
 Installer should be used instead of the Linux distribution's native
 package management system as only this guarantees timely updates for
 PEAR-packaged software.

 I do, but due to the bug in PEAR 1.9.0 that I quoted above I have to
 require PEAR 1.9.1, I'm afraid. Thank you for you efforts, Remi, and do
 not hesitate to contact me if there anything I can do to make your work
 easier,
Sebastian

Hi all and Happy new year !

 <at> Sebastian, ChangeLog.markdown and README.markdown, available on Git
repository, are really usefull files, which I'm used to provides in the
packages.

Could it be possible (order by importance) :

1/ to have a Changelog file for other packages.

For example, I don't find any information about Changes in new
PHP_CodeCoverage version 1.0.3, which is quite annoying to publish this
update without any information for users. (A simple "New upstream
version" is really discouraged by Fedora Guidelines)

Workaround : another source for this ?

2/ to provide Readme and Changelog files in your package (of course,
tagged with role="doc")

This files are really small, and shouldn't be a big "space" problem

Workaround : I can continue to add it manually, from git, as for now

3/ to add a LICENCE File

  Will add them for future releases. Hope that is sufficient; don't really
  want to wade through Git history and write them for older releases after
  the fact.
