Hi all...

I don't know if this should be filed as a bug...

pear.conf is installed where you point by --sysconfdir in configure,
php.ini is installed where you point by --with-config-file-path

This can be considered discrepancy...

But when I viewed pear.conf in text editor it's just serialized string, 
not quite readable to humans...

What about puting it in directory pointed by --with-pear ? There are 
more such files there used indirectly by pear or pecl like:

./.registry/archive_tar.reg
./.registry/console_getopt.reg
./.registry/pear.reg
./.channels/.alias/pear.txt
./.channels/.alias/pecl.txt
./.channels/pear.php.net.reg
./.channels/pecl.php.net.reg
./.channels/__uri.reg
./.filemap
./.lock
./.depdblock
./.depdb

Thank you for your time,
