Installing the package version on a lower PHP than minimum is just not possible and will be hindered by the PEAR installer. I do not know how PEAR handles freshly installing the package on a lower php version than the latest stable one requires. We should find that out. Any takers? Steps: - 2 package versions: -- 1.0.0 with php 5.2 dep -- 1.1.0 with php 5.3 dep - put the first on a channel server - install the package on 5.2 - put 1.1.0 on the channel server - try to upgrade the package with 5.2, this should fail - uninstall the package - try to install the package (without specifying the version) on 5.2. this could either fail or install 1.0.0 > Especially if it's as "easy" as doing a new package - what's the hold > off? MDB3 requires class renames all over the code, which requires client code changes. -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=-
