Hmm, okay. I think different. There are already enough ideas that should be sorted out for a first step. Agreed this is not the final solution yet - but it starts getting a bit chaotic. > Also there is no hurry in my eyes. Yes and no. We're not in a hurry for a concrete solution (although the problem came up with MDB 1.x => 2.0 which is just before a new major release). But I think if we find a solution that maintains BC for the moment we might soon release a PEAR 1.3 or 1.4 that implements the new structure and still allows the old to be used as well. The sooner we get this out the sooner it can and will be adopted by maintainers / programmers. And as soon as the majority fixed their packages / programs we can launch 2.0 and drop all the old "burdens". > Yes this stuff is important and yes the sooner we have a solution > the better. But risking a half baked "solution" is not the way to > go. Agreed. But it's getting too much traffic on this list. Weren't there already enough ideas / solutions on the list? I just thought maybe it would be the right time that the pear-group discusses this internally and gives some feedback which ideas should further be followed and which should be dropped. In one email was said "I hope you still know who said what where" - but I don't anymore :-)) Sure, the ideas are present - but I can't say that I have a real view of how many / which people are in favour of which solution etc. Stefan
