This kind of stable + dev environment is possible (I use it all the  
time) but you need to know exactly how to do it right. And it may  
require you to watch the current development.

If you want to inject dev snapshots into a stable Horde installed from  
PEAR you should stick with PEAR. Which means you need to generate PEAR  
snapshots.

Snapshots can be build using

  pear package package.xml

within the directory of a component (e.g. "wicked" or "framework/Db").  
The result should be installable. This breaks the versioning though  
and you jeopardize a clean upgrade path of your installation. The  
snapshots you generate here are already tagged with the next version  
that will hit pear.horde.org. So your installation will ignore the  
next real release taking the snapshot for the real thing.

An alternative is to run

git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/horde/horde
php horde/components/bin/horde-bootstrap
horde/lib/devenv

[move to component now]

hc snapshot

This creates packages in the same way but adds a "dev20110914..." to  
the snapshot. This means your installation will always pick up newer  
releases from pear.horde.org when you run "pear upgrade". The packages  
may need "--force" to be installed though.

I once blogged about this as well:

They are - but not released yet. See the recent commits on Horde_Db.  
You would also need a snapshot of Horde_Db to get wicked working. And  
I think a few other updated packages as well. I actually did that  
procedure last week when I was testing wicked. It required me to look  
at the commit list though.

Cheers,

Gunnar
