Re: How to work with PEAR channel server ?

Hi Brett Bieber, Thanks for the help. I have a question about: if I discovered a pear channel like: pear.php.net , how do I switch the mirror of pear to site like us.pear.php.net ? It looks like the channel alias is locked once the channel is discovered ? Thanks.
