PHPUnit was developed in cvs.php.net and released on pear.php.net from its inception in 2001 until July 2006. PHPUnit was developed in svn.phpunit.de from July 2006 until December 2009 when its development moved to GitHub. Until today, every PHPUnit release was made available as a PEAR package. These PEAR packages were hosted on pear.phpunit.de since July 2006.
Since
Starting with
We are taking the next step in retiring the PEAR installation method with today's release of
If you have installed
$ pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit \ phpunit/PHPUnit_MockObject \ phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage
If you have installed
$ pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit
You may have other packages from the pear.phpunit.de channel installed, for instance as dependencies for other tools that you may have installed. If "pear list -c phpunit" shows that you still have packages from the pear.phpunit.de channel installed then you should uninstall those packages, too. Please make sure, though, that these packages are not required by other tools that you may have installed.
The shutdown of pear.phpunit.de also means that all other packages that were hosted on this PEAR channel can no longer be installed via PEAR. These packages include dependencies of PHPUnit such as PHP_CodeCoverage and PHPUnit_MockObject as well as tools such as PHPCPD and PHPLOC.
You can download PHP Archives (PHARs) of these tools at phar.phpunit.de.
We would like to use this opportunity to thank Stig Bakken for his work on PEAR in the early days of PHP 4, Greg Beaver for his work on the PEAR Installer, and Fabien Potencier for his work on Pirum without which maintaining a PEAR channel server this long would have been unbearable.
Update (December 1, 2014): We have released
Update (December 31, 2014): The process of retiring pear.phpunit.de was tracked in ticket #1229. The final step was the shutdown of pear.phpunit.de.
