I'm using this four command combo each week after few CVS updates. You should specify your paths to CVS directories as well. find /home/ondrej/prog/CVS-others/pear/ -type f -name 'package*.xml' -exec pear install {} \;; find /home/ondrej/prog/CVS-others/php4/ -type f -name 'package*.xml' -exec pear install {} \;; find /home/ondrej/prog/CVS-others/pear/ -type f -name 'package*.xml' -exec pear upgrade {} \;; find /home/ondrej/prog/CVS-others/php4/ -type f -name 'package*.xml' -exec pear upgrade {} \;; My system is RPM based, but since `pear' command writes only into /usr/share/pear/ directory, it is easy to get system again into consistent state with just removing which pear script and also removing mentioned /usr/share/pear/ directory. I don't know if this is an official way, but it worked for me well. Btw. it seems to be much simplier than any Perl package installation or upgrade. ;-) Hope it helps, =Nepto= ____________________________________________________________________________ Ondrej 'Nepto' Jombik, perl -le '$_=1;(1x$_)!~/^(11+)\1+$/&&print while$_++'
