Acknowledgements

The Phix project makes it easy to setup and maintain a package repository for a PEAR-installable package and integrates important tools such as PHPUnit, Phing, PEAR, and Pirum. Large parts of this package would not have been possible without studying the source of Pica::Record, an open source Perl library for handling Pica+ records by Jakob Voß, and the practical knowledge of our library’s catalogers.
