can you package it up - might get a few more testers than a CVS co.

hello Greg, I know you've worked very hard on this version and next one (1.4.0), but i've noticed that pear_errorstack will be still part of PEAR in release 1.3.4, and even if its in beta stage none of simple request i've made [1] are included.

Regarding separating the packages, this is not possible until PEAR 1.4.0. Why? Imagine this sequence: $ pear upgrade PEAR PEAR requires PEAR_ErrorStack $ pear upgrade PEAR PEAR_ErrorStack installing PEAR_ErrorStack PEAR_ErrorStack conflicts with PEAR (PEAR/ErrorStack.php) install failed Because PEAR/ErrorStack.php is part of PEAR 1.3.*, the only way to upgrade would be to use --force. This is obviously not an option for users who do upgrade-all, and so the only way to split off a package is to use a subpackage dependency - which doesn't exist until PEAR 1.4.0.

Is it possible to consider it part of version 1.3.4 ? There are nothing to serious that may damage the current version and all changes have always been coded (by myself) and are available (see tarball in link redirect in [1]).

I'll take a look at these.

And last but not least, i wish you an Happy New Year 2005.

to you too Greg
