The second issue I faced today was installing the SOAP package, easy :
pear install --alldeps SOAP
But here is what the pear installer return :
Failed to download pear/SOAP within preferred state "stable", latest release is version 0.9.4, stability "beta", use "channel://pear.php.net/SOAP-0.9.4" to install Cannot initialize 'SOAP', invalid or missing package file Package "SOAP" is not valid install failed
Ok so SOAP package is still in beta, no if I want to install it anyway :
pear install --alldeps SOAP-0.9.4
It install SOAP package correctly with all its dependencies, except for NET_DIME and for the same reason. The package still in beta ! If I requested to install a beta package, I don't mind if a dependency is available in beta too. Anyway Greg Beaver when he wrote The PEAR Installer Manifesto, I think he did the right thing to make a great resource available while working with the PEAR installer. A bon entendeur.
