[Fedora-packaging] fedora-newrpmspec patch for php-pear

[Jason L Tibbitts III]

Trying to resurrect the PHP discussion so that we can finally put this
to bed.

As far as I can tell, the updated php-pear package isn't released yet.

I'm going to take this as a no.  Is it problematic that we're not
going to target FC4?

I have done a first pass cleanup of what we have at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/PHP

Still needed there:

A block of Provides and Requires for PECL modules analogous to those
for PEAR modules.

Scriptlets for PECL module registration.  Or maybe not; I have no idea
if PECL modules need to be registered in the same way that PEAR
modules are.

More comments about non-PEAR-PECL modules.

JLT> fedora-newrpmspec should call into the specfile generator module.

What happened with this?  Chris Stone had a patch; did it get reported
upstream?

Is there something analogous that we could do for PECL modules?
