That does not mean you cannot use the pear infrastructure. We can consider the pear packages API as a very good stable state (even on windows). The user can set different sources using the pear installer (i.e setup.midgard-project.org). Take a look to the excellent issue of PHP-Magazine, Alexander Merz describe how to set up your own system using pearweb and local pear tools. That can give you the ways to go with a Midgard packages server or at least some ideas. > - or the Midgard community have a separate PEAR server users can > configure as a secondary source?

If some Midgard modules can be used outside Midgard , these modules can be in PEAR. See the Horde project, some module in PEAR come from it. > - Some support as we start PEAR-izing our existing modules, code and > lifestyles. You will get our support from this list :). PEAR-izing should be good even if you do not publish it under PEAR directly, as PEAR will be bundled in every php distros from php 4.3.2, that may make the user life easier while integrating Midgard with their PHP installation. But I do not know Midgard, even never test it :) hth pierre
