I prefer to have Archive_Tar in the standard package mechanism. I will manually synchronize the CVS tree (only the Tar.php file) in order to have an updated version in php4/pear. This seems to be usefull for people who download Core PEAR from there. I'm not sure there is a possible auto mechanism. I start to look at the installation stuff, but more on the package install tools than on the PEAR release with PHP. So don't know exactly how works the <scriptfile lang="sh"> tag. I will have to look. On the PEAR manual part, I release Archive_Tar as a Package under the File System Category and not the Core PEAR.
