upgrade-registry - convert a registry from PEAR format to Pyrus format
Introduction
The upgrade-registry command is used to convert a registry from the old PEAR Installer format into the new Pyrus format, and then optionally remove the old registry.
The command creates registries in Sqlite3 and XML formats in the path passed
as the argument to upgrade-registry. Note that Pyrus
registries are stored in the parent directory as the installed PHP files,
whereas PEAR registries are stored in the same directory as the installed
PHP files, so it is necessary for Pyrus to have write access to the parent
directory.
--removeold
The --removeold or -r option instructs
Pyrus to remove the old PEAR registry when finished upgrading.
