Re: proposal: pear install-deps command

Hi, I agree with Hans. Perhaps the current install behavior could be supported for those who might need it with a new command-line pear install --no-deps Package?

My only thought is that this should be the default behavior (maybe w/ confirmation) for the regular 'install' command. I can't conceive of too many scenarios where I'd want to install a package w/o the dependencies. Also I think emulating this APT / FreeBSD ports behavior is intuitive to a lot of users. Hans
