go-pear problem

Hello pear-general, There's a problem with go-pear. Inside the function download_url() the function to open the .TGZ for writing uses $wp = fopen($destfile, "w"); that is not binary-safe and corrupts the .TGZ converting every \n in \r\n (or \n\r, whatever). This causes go-pear not to work on OS/2 (for example) and maybe under Windows too, and it's also clashing with PHP manual that reads: "Note: The mode may contain the letter 'b'. This is useful only on systems which differentiate between binary and text files (i.e. Windows. It's useless on Unix). If not needed, this will be ignored. You are encouraged to include the 'b' flag in order to make your scripts more portable." http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php Can you fix this? ;) Furthermore I'm having problems with the installer.php and command/install.php functions, but I yet have to investigate this. No packages can be installed because every loop of the (foreach $install...) the $tmp dir crawls up one level (god knows why) so the temporary dir for the first loop is /tmp/tmp[something) then it becames ./tmp[something] then go-pear dies because he can't create the directory (the variable is empty). I tried some digging in the code, but I not having ever read PEAR 'till now it's a pretty hard thing, also because those .PHP files get downloaded every run, so I also have hard times in editing them. Any hint on that? Thanks.
