Hy everybody What the hell is wrong with PEAR? The current situation on PEAR is pissing me off. That pear is not included in PHP anymore might be acceptable, if there would be another possibility to get it on a normal way, for a windows-user. But there is none. Not even a base-packet to download. Only that goddamn go-pear is offered for installing and not even this is included in the actual PHP-release. Happily announcing the possibility to use it with lynx on your *nix. Fuck Lynx. This peace of grap is not working on windows, neither as command-line nor in my browser. How could you ever think about comparing yourself with CPAN? This ignorance to exclude all windows-users until you found a way to get your installer to work can only be a joke. But not enough. Your website, where the packets are listed is not only terrible to navigate, it's also deadly slow, so that for me there is no practical way to get an actual PEAR-release. Where is the problem to offer a PEAR-packet to download? If you like to, I would even get it as tar.bz! The answer, that pear becomes tooooo big, is not worth to think about. We're living in the age of DSL! Does Mandrake stops download of their distribution, because it's becoming to big? Huhu, don't break your head on someneelse's brain, I need PEAR, and I would even download it if its 100GB big. But what? Im only using windows. Im not even worth, that you read this message. Just keep sitting in front off your favorit shell and wait for the Linux world-domination. Good luck Your 'pissed-off' Till Dawn
