Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] PEAR_Exception-1.0.0beta1 (beta) Released.

Hi, Helgi (or whoever released this), is this a good idea to do a separate PEAR_Exception without releasing a new PEAR package simultaneously? Current PEAR package contains PEAR_Exception class as well and this will probably lead to conflicts. I don't quite remember what was the consensus last time this was discussed, but from my point of view the best solution will be to push a new PEAR 1.10.* * with dependency on PHP 5+ * without bundled PEAR_Exception class but * with a required dependency on new PEAR_Exception package. This way packages that currently have to depend on PEAR package can easily be updated to depend on PEAR_Exception and won't break in the transition process. Also a new version of PEAR is long overdue with 1.9.4 released in 2011 and 82 (!) bugs in the tracker. Is anyone working on PEAR at all? If not I may help a bit with bug triage and possibly send some patches. On 21.02.2014 22:37, PEAR Announce wrote:

The new PEAR package PEAR_Exception-1.0.0beta1 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- This packge was split out from the PEAR package. If you use PEAR_Exception in your package and use nothing from the PEAR package then it's better to depend on just PEAR_Exception.
