Ok , i'm not a pear package maintainer so i'm not aware of these 
things. See remember pear dir is defaulted to root. This kind of setup 
requires a local dev machine owned by the developer or seperate local 
pear repositories. I luckily develop on my osx laptop so dont have 
these kind of issues :)

Also maybe an MDB2_Schema question , but how to i prevent it creating 
the old schema files, i have to delete these usually to run the 
installer again. I think it tries and runs an update if the .old files 
are there ?
