Recently, i’ve been writing a lot of code that makes use of multiple PEAR libraries.  MDB2 is one prime example of a library i’m making a lot of use of.  However, i’ve had to update pear and install mdb2 on every machine i’ve run code on.

Do you make use of any pear libraries, or even have access to an updated pear?  Would an open source project that depends on certain pear packages make you update your local PEAR, or choose another package without that dependency?

It’s a tough judgment call to make, but I think i’m going to leave it as a dependency in my packages.  The software benefits heavily from it’s inclusion. It depends on it.  Would you make a similar call?
