I think we should allow installation of log4php through the PEAR installer.
A typical installation could be:
$ sudo pear channel-discover pear.apache.org
$ sudo pear install apache/log4php
While upgrading to latest stable release would be:
$ sudo pear upgrade apache/log4php
Utilizing installation through the PEAR installer is one of many ways to
improve distribution and usage of log4php.
Before going into this direction we need to know:
1) Is there already a PEAR channel available under the Apache umbrella?
2) If not, is it possible to setup?
If the server side setup of a PEAR channel for apache packages is solved
we can add PEAR packaging as a build task.
