Re: [PEAR] [ANNOUNCEMENT] PEAR_Exception-1.0.0beta1 (beta) Released.

Hi,

Helgi (or whoever released this), is this a good idea to do a separate 
PEAR_Exception without releasing a new PEAR package simultaneously? Current PEAR 
package contains PEAR_Exception class as well and this will probably lead to 
conflicts.

I don't quite remember what was the consensus last time this was discussed, but 
from my point of view the best solution will be to push a new PEAR 1.10.*
  * with dependency on PHP 5+
  * without bundled PEAR_Exception class but
  * with a required dependency on new PEAR_Exception package.

This way packages that currently have to depend on PEAR package can easily be 
updated to depend on PEAR_Exception and won't break in the transition process.

Also a new version of PEAR is long overdue with 1.9.4 released in 2011 and 82 
(!) bugs in the tracker.

Is anyone working on PEAR at all? If not I may help a bit with bug triage and 
possibly send some patches.
