I wanted to makes some local edits to a PEAR package that I downloaded in order to build some custom functionality into it. What's the best way to manage this process to ensure that I don't accidentally blow away any changes if I update the package? Should I just copy the entire package to my own source repository, then use that directly instead of the PEAR package? And if I do it that way, is there an easy path to upgrade it? Waynn
