Re: [PEAR-DEV] Developing PEAR::Auth

Hi Armin,

I am not a 100% sure.

The packages you are interested in are hosted here:

https://github.com/pear/Auth
https://github.com/pear/DB *  
https://github.com/pear/Mail
https://github.com/pear/Mail_Queue *  

You can obtain a copy by "cloning" and/or forking the repository.

A pull request is a process where you send a patch from your clone/fork to the upstream. :)

Thus far no special privileges are required to do this!  

A guide to Git(hub) is here:
https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git


To explain *:

1) DB is deprecated and people should use MDB2
https://github.com/pear/MDB2

2) Mail_Queue will be deprecated later in Q1/2013

I have been working on Mail_Queue2: https://github.com/pear2/Mail_Queue  

---
Deprecation means that we'd like to have people focus their efforts on the newer maintained code. :-)

To get into any package development, it's best to find issues to work on and address them. E.g. — fix bugs, add new features.

Does that help?
