"stable5" instead of "stable" etc. Then if PHP 5's default include path changes to $prefix/share/php5 or something like that, PEAR installations for PHP 4 and PHP 5 should live happily side by side. This way, a package may release PHP 4 and PHP 5 code separately, for example as 1.x and 2.x. I really don't want two repositories. CVS has branches, and PEAR's release management system supports parallell development too. - Stig
