Hi, I need to install several packages from PEAR, among which are MDB2,
LiveUser. The problem is that the named packages are a bit outdated:
PEAR port: 1.5.0_1 upstream: 1.5.2
MDB2 port: 2.3.0 upstream: 2.4.0
LiveUser port 0.15.1 upstream: 0.16.2
etc. etc. I could continue this list easily. Some of the packages (i.e.
LiveUser) haven't had a maintainer for quite some time (as denoted by
the orphaned [EMAIL PROTECTED] maintainer email). Since the ports folks
don't seem to be keeping up the pace, can I simply install the PEAR's
port (i.e. bootstrap) and then install all the necessary PEAR packages
from within the PEAR installer? What undesirable effects could/will this
have in practice? I understand one should use the ports subsystem
wherever possible, but this is just not the case where this is possible ;-)
Thank you.
