Re: pear revert command questions

Another thing: In your example Net_Socket 1.0 was installed before, Net_Socket 1.2 has the problems. So would there be a way to downgrade to Net_Socket 1.1 without downloading it as a tgz and installating it "manually"? This way, in your first example, Net_SMTP would still work because it depends on 1.1. And having the assumtion that most times only the last version should fail (normally it wouldn't fail because of all the unit-tests we provide :-)) maybe downgrading to Net_Socket 1.1 is sufficient.

I prefer to make no assumptions for something like revert. if 1.0 was working before, then it will still work. 1.1 might not work, and then what? All reverting would then have to be through pear install --force. I think in this case that potentially a bad thing = a bad thing. Greg
