  There's only one thing: Keep your installation of PEAR up to date. Here's how:
  <code>
  pear upgrade-all
  </code>
-It's perfectly safe to put this into your crontab to let PEAR upgrade itself.
+
+You'll want to test after upgrades to ensure that nothing has changed or broken, as packages have been known to have bugs now and then, but generally the releases are good. If you are less inclined to blindly upgrade everything, you can find out what new releases are available with:
+<code>
+pear list-upgrades
+</code>
+
+Then you can upgrade packages individually with:
+<code>
+pear upgrade package-name
+</code>
