[livesupport-dev] having PEAR packages in the installation

    a question to the PHP guys:

    LiveSupport depends on PEAR packages that are not normally in the
    default PEAR installations. the easiest way to install these packages is to:

    pear install PearPackage

    now, we have a problem with, for example, the LiveSupport debian
    packages. if we would execute these commands during the install, we
    would have to assume that the machine LiveSupport is installed on has
    internet access at that time. which is not really a good thing.

    so, the question is: how to store / install the required PEAR packages
    without a network connection? can one download these packages
    beforehand, and install them from files?

    If would be useful:
    PEAR packages could be untared even as nonroot user directly to the
    webspace along with application using it - e.g. on FTP access on
    webhostings. (without automatic dependency checking of course)

    then would you want to include all the needed dependencies on the tools
    directory, and provide a way to install them at some appropriate place?
    (for all the C++ libraries, we've been doing this all along..)
