I have been trying to create my own package with my package.xml. I see nothing wrong and I keep get the same error with ANY package of pear/

Example:
[Sat Nov  9 - 02:35:49 - root ~/pear/Net_Ping]# pear package package.xml

Warning: chdir() [http://www.php.net/function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Packager.php on line 174
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try `tar --help' for more information.
package ok
[Sat Nov  9 - 02:35:54 - root ~/pear/Net_Ping]#

[Sat Nov  9 - 02:37:18 - root ~/pear/PECL/spplus]# pear package package.xml

Warning: chdir() [http://www.php.net/function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Packager.php on line 174
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try `tar --help' for more information.
package ok
[Sat Nov  9 - 02:37:19 - root ~/pear/PECL/spplus]#

I really think that first, Packager.php should have some verifications before saying its ok and trying to use function without verifying what argument it got.

Anyway Packager.php looks totally broken.

With 
| PEAR           | 1.0b1   | stable |

I get the following for Net-Ping

 pear package package.xml
Error: missing description
Error: missing license
Validation: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
Fix these errors and try again.

 pear package package.xml 
Package /home/arnaud/development/pear/PECL/spplus/spplus-1.0.tgz done
Tag the released code with `pear cvstag package.xml'
(or set the CVS tag RELEASE_1_0 by hand)


The problem is that it creates an archive with just package.xml in it. This problem has been reported.

I could not reproduce your bug. What platform are you running ?

Arnaud.

This was on a linux box, redhat I think.Anyway Net_Ping is an old package and is supposed to work...

Could you please run

lynx -source http://go-pear.org | php

in order to install the latest version of the PEAR package manager. I'm unable to reproduce the problem with this version.
