The existing PEAR packages are still mostly written using PHP 4 and the
new releases just aren't there. Some packages need to be run with the
notification for deprecated features turned off. I use some of their
package for convenience (HTML_Form, HTML_Table, Image_GraphViz and
Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer) but there are no new releases, no updates,
nothing. The same applies to other packages that I sometimes use
(Console_Getopt, Date, Log). Does anyone have more info about PEAR? Is
the project that was lambasted as PHP CPAN really going belly up? Having
such a repository would be more than useful, in my opinion it was a
mistake to standardize error handling and all those things that are in
the PEAR package.

That does not ap-PEAR to be correct.

Have you visited the PEAR site lately? If no, why not? If yes, why are you
still asking?

pear/pear-core had the last update 5 days ago. Also, OSS requires people
who not only want to consume.

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not
the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.

What exactly do you refer by "pear/pear-core"?

Which is mentioned in the document linked from said section of the PEAR
site. Which is why the date on the PEAR site does not matter.
