\PEAR2\Pyrus\Package exception

[cweiske]

Description:

When creating a new instance of a package that is all ready in the rgistry a exception occures.

Test script:

fromString('pear2.php.net/P...') #1 D:\pear\repo\php\PEAR2\Pyrus\Package.php(55): PEAR2\Pyrus\Package\Remote->__construct('pear2.php.net/P...', Object(PEAR2\Pyrus\Package)) #2 D:\pear\packages\PackageManager\tests\u.php(7): PEAR2\Pyrus\Package->__construct('pear2.php.net/P...') #3 {main} thrown in D:\pear\repo\php\PEAR2\Pyrus\Package\Remote.php on line 282

Hmm, I think in this case the exception is to be expected.

To retrieve information about remote packages, pass $forceremote = true to Package::__construct so it won't look at the local registry before comparing against remote packages.

Okee so what your saying is don't use Package for getting information about a package that's allready installed? but use Registry::package and Registry::exists?

Does this mean this ticket is bogus then?

@cweiske Ping. Close it, if it's bogus.

I don't really like the current behavior, but ok. There is an alternative we can use.
