[horde] horde 4 installation

Certainly less effective than using PEAR. The upgrade procedure based  
on PEAR is one of the central advantages of using it. Maintaining  
several servers this way should be no problem.

What exactly did fail? For most people this works without any  
problems. If you provide details we can probably help and maybe even  
try to improve our installation instructions.

The "downloads" section in github is nothing we use. In fact github is  
just our external code mirror and I don't think we say we deliver  
anything but a convenient view on our code via github.

We don't provide tarballs to install from at the moment. This has been  
discussed on this list a few times already and you should be able to  
find hints on how to derive tarballs if you feel you really need them.  
If there is a real demand we might still consider to do them but so  
far it was not necessary.

The installation might be slightly unusual as there are not that many  
projects fully relying on PEAR at the moment. But if you compare that  
to the reduced effort you have when upgrading then I would say this is  
irrelevant. Especially since PEAR comes with any PHP installation  
anyhow and we also expect a working PHP when you want to install Horde.

Cheers,
