I'm a little afraid of the interactions between user localy debian packages and official debian packages... but well, it may be a risk we want to take. or maybe we can add by default a '+pear' string in the version number to signify the user that the current package is locally generated, and is not officialy supporter by debian and the debian BTS ... well, that's maybe the solution I like the most atm. So give me some time to talk with some other php guys in debian, and we'll see what comes out of this. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O OOO http://www.madism.org
