I really do! Yesterday he released the first official version of PEAR 1.4.0 (alpha, of course) which provides a lot of new features. The most interesting feature is the ability to install files from different channels, which is really great for our non-PEAR packages at php-tools.net. But that's not all, Greg did to get my love: He also developed a PEAR_Server with a simple HTML frontend that can be easily installed using PEAR 1.4.0. So this morning I decided to play with it a bit and after several minutes, I had our own channel server online which is already able to serve patError and patTemplate (more projects will follow). If you'd like to try it, download PEAR 1.4.0a2 and then add our channel and start installing the packages: pear upgrade PEAR-alpha
pear channel-discover pear.php-tools.net
pear install pat/patTemplate
