Well, what would such a "non-official.pear" be useful? If the classes are useful I can't see why they should be integrated into pear. If, as you say, there are / were useful classes that didn't make it into pear nor were integrated in a way into other sources I doubt that the decision of the pear-maintainers was right in every way. As I see it, if you open a "non-official"-repository what would be the use? A diverison into "pear1" and "pear2" or whatever. Without any benefit for both sides. Maybe some people should think over their decisions now that such "unfair" thoughts apear. Just a personal view Stefan
