The only supported way of using PEAR packages is installing the .tgz files. There'll be an "upgrade-all" command shortly that you can run from cron to update everything automatically if you wish to do that. But anyway, with the current CVS version of the installer, you can do this: cd cvs/pear cvs -q update -dP for pkg in *; do test -f $pkg/package.xml || continue (cd $pkg && pear install -f package.xml) done The problem with this approach is that maintainers may change files without changing the package.xml file (which is fine, because users are supposed to install tarballs). So the file you think is Foo.php from Foo 1.2 one day may suddenly have changed the next (without the version number changing). - Stig
