That's correct.

I guess I'll then hear back from QA about the next steps. Since there is no process defined for this, yet (IMHO), we have to build it up. I imagine something like that: - a maintainer does not want to maintain a package anymore -> he has to post on pear-dev to ask for a new maintainer -> after 4 weeks and no reply the package should be deleted (or maybe first marked obsolete) Regards, Toby -- <?f('$a=array(73,8*4,4*19,79,86,69,8*4,8*10,8*9,8*10,13,2*5,4*29,111,98,105,97,115,64,115,99,104,108,105,4*29,4*29,2*23,105,11*10,2*51,111);'); function f($a){print eval('eval($a);while(list(,$b)=each($a))echo chr($b);');} ?>
