Looking good.. out of interest how/is this going to be supported... <deps>

This is going to be supported, but not quite as the format you describe here. <deps> <dep type="pkg" rel="has" channel="mychannel">MyPackage</dep> </deps> mychannel either must be defined at pear.php.net (which will be easy - PEAR will not politically limit channels, only technically. In other words, any pearweb-compatible server will be a registered channel as long as it isn't distributing warez or some other illegal activity :). $ pear update-channels This command will download any new/changed channels since the last update Or, mychannel can be added for testing or intranet purposes by defining a simple channel.xml like so <channel version="1.0"> <name>mychannel</name> <summary>my private channel</summary> <server>myserver</server> </channel> $ pear add-channel mychannel.xml voila.
