[TYPO3-50-general] Package Manager Details

[Thomas Fritz]

Hi,

Can someone give some more information on the Package Manager which is one
of the features to come with FLOW3?

I think there will be a commandline tool like the one from pear, right?
Similiar Features like the pear installer?
Will there something like the "channel server" in pear?
Will it possible to use user-defined "channel servers" or package
repositories?
Are there any plans to have some "hooks" in the package
installation/update/deletion process? I mean, will it possible to update,
for example, a database schema by updating a package (DD/DM)?

On the flow3 Detailed Features Site:

Why not PHAR? Which is part of PHP 5.3?


Thanks for the answers and the great work so far!
Tom
