The question is > still in the air. It's there for testing only, I need to uncover missing features in the installer to make it complete. You will be notified when DB actually moves. My plan is this: make the installer accept both Package-version.tar and Package-version.tgz files (or else it won't be possible to install the zlib extension from PECL). Then in the first PHP release after php4/pear stuff moves, the "core" stuff from PEAR is installed from .tar files using the installer. The only files left in php4/pear will be PEAR/Installer.php & friends, and even those should be copied from pear/PEAR during php4 packaging. That is the only way to make PEAR upgradable. Another important feature that needs to be in place before moving out everything is auto-updates of the installer itself (this will be necessary to weed out bugs quickly). - Stig
