"Simply use it", or "depends on it", this all is about the same. Since php brings its own pear why not to use it? Well, even if using system's pear unavoidable, why not to check its presense and its version first and do not bother shell with attempts to run non-existing stuff? > 2. nothing is missing. see http://pear.php.net/PHP_Archive > > If installed, phar.phar will function (partially) without the phar > extension being present. Same goes here. Presense of PHP_Archive can be also checked without misleading error messages in the make's output.
