So I guess a PEAR channel is like a server that lets you distribute your own PEAR packages? I was under the impression PEAR was sort of dead, until I started looking at Symfony (is it dead? I haven't used it in the past so maybe someone with more experience in PHP can comment on its state and whether it makes sense to invest any time in it)Anyway my question. Why do I need to set up my own PEAR channel? There's a page here maintained by the PEAR project http://pear.php.net/channels/ but it looks like it may be just a list of PEAR channels as opposed to a public PEAR channel. Are there easier alternatives than setting up my own PEAR channel?
