Hello Christian, Thanks to reply to me.
Pyrus (the PEAR2 installer) does not support package.xml v1 anymore. This is the main reason to get all packages to v2. I personally don't see a reason why upgrading the packages should not be possible. pear convert does the things for you, and releasing a new version isn't that hard. Of course it's not difficult for me (especially also because I've in past work for PEAR_PackageFileManager). And I'll do it if it's really necessary, but I think it will encourage end-users to download an old version that is no more supported by me (and I a bit disagree with that) while there is HTML_Progress2 .
And when I'll rewrite HTML_Progress2 to HTML_Progress3 a full PHP5 version, should I also keep to continue to maintain HTML_Progress and HTML_Progress2 ? Laurent
