Regards, GregFramework relates to the installation infrastructure, not to the packages. If that is unclear, we should possibly rephrase the sentence.PEAR is not a framework.I believe PEAR's own website has another opinion about that ;) On the frontpage of pear.php.net the following quote can be read: "What is PEAR? [...] PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components."...
