And people could do pear install net_url then php4 version is downloaded and pear install net_url-php5 to download the php5 branch ....

While the "-xxx" shortcut is nice we can't use it for php5 stuff, it's already taken by the "state" :-). Otherwise we'd end in: pear install net_url-beta,php5 Better to have params: pear install -php 5 -state beta net_url

or even make it a config option what is downloaded by default if there are 2 branches present.

Please do not mix CVS with pearweb :-). Pearweb will return to the user the propper package depending the params he suply.

Note. this is not something that would solve the conflict of having php4 and php5 installation of a package,

I don't see any conflict. A package can only be installed once in the same <php_dir> (installer setting). If you want to maintain two installations do: $ pear -c pear_php4.php \

       -d php_dir=/pear/php4 \
       -d php_version=4 \
       -s

The same for php5 packages. One can switch beetween them so: $ pear -c pear_php5.php install Foo_Bar Tomas V.V.Cox
