I'd like to install DB_DataObject_FormBuilder but when I use: pear install DB_DataObject_FormBuilder
pear install DB_DataObject_FormBuilder-beta
Does that work!??
SUre does, and has the benefit of working for just that one package that one time. :-) I think Greg pointed it out to me.
You can also use --force for that. pear install DB_DataObject_FormBuilder --force I think that's where the argument goes.. been a while though.

--force is riskier, as that will force an installation even if dependencies fail. using -beta or -versionnumber as in: pear install DB_DataObject_FormBuilder-1.0.0 is much safer. For info on what will work and what will not work, look in cvs at pearweb/public_html/get (no extension) Greg
