How this will be done practically I don't know yet, but I guess it would be either by syncing the right files into /php4/pear, or including package tarballs and installing them with the PEAR installer after PHP itself is installed. Anyway, now that the packages are moved, I guess it's time to start a public beta test of the web site. - Stig
