It should work with the current CVS, if it doesn't let me know. The difference between "pear" and "pear-get" is that "pear" does local operations, while pear-get does remote operations. I split them up to make it easier to determine between commands like "pear-get list" (which lists packages on the remote server), and "pear list" (which lists packages you have installed). I'm still not entirely happy with the command structure. For example, "uninstall" is a sub-command of "pear" now (because it is a local operation), but this may not be obvious to everyone. Suggestions welcome. :-) - Stig
