Hi all, I just wondered if we should just remove pear from our php package. Pear is a package manager for php and as such bypasses pacman. Using pear is not a great idea imho; you might have conflicts on php updates and files that are not tracked by pacman. (using -f might break things here)
People who still want to use pear instead of pacman could provide a PKGBUILD in AUR for this. What do you think? And btw: pear itself does not seem of "high quality"; did anyone try it with E_ALL|E_STRICT etc.? -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
