pecl_http is my suggestion. Even if we somehow manage to isolate pear & pecl, having 2 packages with the same name would end up causing endless confusion.
well this is quite a nasty issue in general and has already bitten us on the soap front iirc. even worse its likely to bite us quite often. however I fear there is little we can do about this aside from ugly prefixes for the project that comes second.
Channels solves this problem elegantly. $ pear install pecl/http $ pear install pear/http no conflicts, totally clear. Greg
