pear packages

Hi!

What is the way of handling pear package upgrades? Is it safe to use 
pear upgrade-all, or should one stay with ports, and wait for an update 
there?

I'd suggest to stay with packages.  For which packages would you need an
update, btw?

I was just trying to use Fileinfo, which is not in ports, so I had to 
mess around with pecl (what is completely new for me), and noticed the 
upgrade parameter. I was just simply wondering...

In _most_ cases they're fairly simple to port.
