pear install alpha to beta

Hi Greg, As the installed package 'Net_Monitor' was an alpha 0.0.8, I tried to install the new beta 0.1.0: # pear -d preferred_state=beta install Net_Monitor Package 'Net_Monitor' already installed, skipping Why so much hate ? I was saying I prefer beta Anyway an alpha is so named because it solves lot of stuff (without BBC) Don't understand why we need to force in this case, alpha to beta is a true upgrade ! # pear -d preferred_state=beta install -f Net_Monitor downloading Net_Monitor-0.1.0.tgz ... Starting to download Net_Monitor-0.1.0.tgz (11,222 bytes) .....done: 11,222 bytes install ok: Net_Monitor 0.1.0 I can fill a feature request if you mean it's usefull. à+ -- bertrand Gugger (toggg)
