hi Ulf,
It can be marked:
- superseded
. a package is replaced by another, in another channel or from a
core extension. Still maintained but it is recommended to use the
package replacement.
- not maintained anymore
. extension does not any active maintainer. Point to the take-over
page if one likes to take the hand on it
- abandonned
. not sure what is all about as it is redundant with the previous two
states. I will drop that one and move the packages (if any) to one of
the other states.
There is no "abandonned" state, or whatever it means.
Only problem is that such a package is still install-able without
notice from pecl/pear. New web site will remove the installer info so
that one will have to install it manually and force the install
(especially for cases like PDO for example).
Cheers,
