Hello, I did a little survey on PHP PECL ports and found that almost half of the PECL ports (27 out of 68) have PEAR listed as the second category. I believe this is a mistake and PECL ports should not be listed in the PEAR category because PECL [1] ports are PHP extensions (wrappers for C libraries), but PEAR [2] ports are libraries written in PHP. Or did I miss something and there is a reasonable reason for PECL ports to be also listed in the PEAR category? These are 27 ports: archivers/pecl-lzf archivers pear archivers/pecl-rar archivers pear databases/pecl-mongodb databases pear databases/pecl-rrd databases pear devel/pecl-dio devel pear devel/pecl-excimer devel pear devel/pecl-expect devel pear devel/pecl-uploadprogress devel pear devel/pecl-uuid devel pear devel/pecl-vld devel pear devel/pecl-xdebug devel pear graphics/pecl-qrencode graphics pear net-im/pecl-stomp2 net-im pear net/pecl-amqp net pear net/pecl-oauth2 net pear net/pecl-radius net security pear net/pecl-rdkafka net pear net/pecl-smbclient net pear net/pecl-xmlrpc net pear security/pecl-krb5 security pear security/pecl-mcrypt security pear security/pecl-pam security pear security/pecl-scrypt security pear security/pecl-ssh2 security pear sysutils/pecl-proctitle sysutils pear textproc/pecl-xdiff2 textproc pear textproc/pecl-yaml textproc pear Should I submit a PR with a patch for all 27 ports?
