Re: What's up with pear?

Ok Ok I really have to relax a bit. Forgive me, but I was spending the last 12 hours, trying to get PEAR on my computer and I'm down with my nerves, so probably I choose the wrong words. Thanks for your advice with easyphp.com. Might be a workaround, until window-install-problems are fixed in PEAR. But honest, such a major problem should not be pushed to some private project like easyphp. This circumstances should be solved internally by PEAR itself and I see a real need for that. If PEAR is looking forward to become one of the big-players like CPAN there should happen something immediately. As well as PEAR just became (some kind of) stable and left beta-character, it is twice important to solve this. But all in all, I cannot understand, why there is no PEAR-base-packet to download like all other software? Or better a whole-bunch-big-pack. With cron it might be easily possible to make snapshots every time one of the base-classes is updated. Even PHP itself does it like this. Where's the problem? Download-size can not be the reason, cause the hole Lib takes only about 2MB. If the installer itself would do it's job, we might talk about a second way to get PEAR, but as long as it does not, it's ridiculous to force the audience to get stuck on it. And all that only because of a stupid not existent download-link. Sorry, I can't help myself, but this makes no sense and me really angry. The only I'm reading are some tips on how it should be or might be or how it is intended to do but do not.... as a little hint from my site, the easiest solution for that problem starts with <a href=" and ends with PEAR_complete.zip" alt="click and get happy!">Pear</a> Your "relaxed" Till Dawn
