go-pear as PEAR package

Hello fellow devs and new PEAR Group, go-pear is an important part of PEAR. It is the single most easy way to install PEAR and is used by _a lot_ of users. Of course, it can contain bugs and can benefit from new features, as every piece of software. Unfortunately go-pear is not listed as package on the PEAR website, I think this should change for following reasons: 1) There is no clear place to report bugs for it. 2) The responsability over it is not clear, who maintains it, who can release it ? 3) It should be possible to add feature requests, define a roadmap and release new versions. 4) It should have PHP-doc like any other part of PEAR. Just like pearweb it will not really exist for package distribution, but for the excellent developer tools. The reason I propose this is because I started fixing bugs in go-pear, and ended up improving its structure significantly, creating a newer and better version (see previous emails to pear-dev and http://tias.ulyssis.org/pear/go-pear/ and its go-pear_alpha.txt) A way is needed to release this as an alpha version and get it tested before replacing the current go-pear. I proposed this earlier to pear-dev and got following response from Greg at 03/15/2007 03:42 am: >> Is it possible to host the new go-pear_alpha on the pear website ? > >Short answer: yes >Long answer: not in the immediate future, we're in transition >governmentally speaking, give it a half-month or so. I don't think any more time has to be wasted on this. Please create package 'go_pear' in category 'PEAR Website'. Thanks, Tias
