Re: Stable code with unstable dependancies.

within its ports, so I was kind of surprised when I noticed this just now. Packages can be declared stable while they still depend upon unstable code.

be careful with the meaning of a state of a package A package is stable if the API is stable and the code do its job without any problems. Beta means there may some undiscovered bugs and/or there are some features which are not (completly) implemented yet. Ie. if package A requires a function from a beta package B, and A passes all tests, because the required function from B works as aspected, i see no problem to mark A as stable. You should take a look on the PFC discussion in the archives, this dependency problem is already covered by the PEAR community as "should PFC classes depends on other PFC classes only?"
