Hi everybody I know PEAR is in a beta phase and it is a great work, here are only positive remarks and some questions: First) package Installer seems a little bit confusing I don't understand how to indicate to the installer where to place the package for example in /usr/local/apache/lib where have I to indicate this path ? Second) Some packages seems corrupted and the packages presentation seems different from a package to another. IMHO Auth is correct but system file for example has to be compliant with no ? About corrupted files I find out that le direct link to the last release [download latest] works you have to do : > gunzip PacKage.targz > tar xvf PacKage.tar and you will find the PacKage.php file inside the PacKage directory and I move or copy it in /usr/local/apache/lib/Package/PacKage.php. I make that for two packages Auth and Net_CheckIP, the naming is self explanatory (look to the exemple) On the other hand I try donwload from direct links to release packages, all the files are corrupted. Thanks for your work Marcel
