2) Upgrading a subpackage that has changes is much more efficient in both time and bandwidth than upgrading the entire package at once. New subpackages can be released without a new release of the main packageI just installed PEAR on my machine so that I can test my XML_RPC changes more easily. I noticed that the pear command line has a "cvsdiff" option. Wouldn't it be even more efficient to have something like "pear patch <package>" to patch the code with the latest [stable] release from CVS? This, of course, would require that using PEAR's CVS becomes mandatory, which I don't see as such a bad thing. -- Marshall Roch
