It's not trivial, because the pear installer desctructively replaces variables with local paths on installation. If you don't know what you're doing, it will be much easier to ask the other team to get you the original pear file. There is no supported way to repackage an installed pear file. --Thilo > > -Marshall > > On 4/25/2012 1:15 PM, Mike O'Leary wrote: >> I received a copy of an application that works with UIMA a few weeks >> ago from >> some colleagues at another location.
