Description:
------------
When trying to install the package ("pear install File") on
two different machines and OSes, I get the following error:

XML error: Undeclared entity warning at line 232

As the error message suggests, this is caused by an undeclared entity in the package.xml file. In line 37, I removed the Þ entity from the maintainers name and this solved the error.

As a follow up, I replaced the character entity Þ with the equivalent numeric entity Þ and this also solves the problem.

How soon is this updated so that PEAR install FILE will work?

If I use CVS to download PEAR (I am working on PHP documentation, but also like to see what is happening to PEAR), the package.xml file shows that File is stable at V1.2.2, but PEAR upgrade -f File will only install 1.2.1

I assume there is some mechanism to convert from CVS to PEAR?

Richard.
