And what about having the best of 2 worlds?

Making some horde clases in a way that let the same code been a  horde lib and a
PEAR package?. The development (CVS) will be in horde and when somebody
considers that a class (Crypt_PGP for example) is stable, that code will be
packed as a PEAR Package and uploaded to PEAR. so you can use the same code in
HORDE or in any other application.

there is only 1 problematic line of code... the include_once

in HORDE that line should be 
include HORDE_BASE . 'HORDE/DEPENDENCY.php';
and in PEAR
include_once(´PEAR/Depencency´);

the rest of the code will be the same


The packager has the responsability to fix that line before uploading to PEAR.
and the same code will be in both Projects.

I say that the package should be in PEAR, the development will be where the
developer wants to. (you can develop a PEAR class in sf.net and have the package
in PEAR)

I like to have PGP functionality in HORDE but also I need to have that
functionality _outside_ horde.
