Upgrading PEAR - A moan and groan

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Well, let’s say i want to do something stupid and upgrade my PEAR packages. I go to the command line and run..

pear upgrade-all

and it … well fails for some packages because they’re alpha or beta.

Now far be it from me to moan but surely it’s more important to upgrade alpha and beta packages than the other packages?

Anyway fix it by upgrading each independently. For example;

pear upgrade Validate

fails as it’s beta - so append “-beta” on the end and hey presto it works.

pear upgrade Validate-beta

Genius! I just hope that maybe one day logic will win out and upgrade-all will mean upgrade-all?

Java: (IMHO) Why independent application builders are shying away from it
