Ummm...excuse me? PEAR handles dependencies exceddingly well. Of course, it can't download and install PHP extensions for you, but that's not too hard to do. You could even add an extension to PEAR to install these extensions via RPM.
The point that Tim tries to make is that many users want to use a single package management tool. This will obviously not be PEAR. However I would assume that whatever ebuild, RPM script is running will use the PEAR installer internally in order to handle whatever magic replacement actions, file placement etc people do is handled accordingly. regards, Lukas
