symfony and Zend Framework dependencies

[mvriel]

I definitely agree that the dependencies should be documented; as for the PEAR channels. I am inclined not to use the symfony dependency (I only use the sfTimer class) as this will generate too much overhead in my opinion.

Concerning the Zend Framework dependency am I currently inquiring with Ralph Schindler how reliable that is. If it is, I'd be more than happy to remove the ZF components from the PEAR packaging and add a dependency there.
I would like to keep them for the downloadable version on Github but I need to find a way to change the autoloading so that it does not need to know where Zend is.

Once I change this part I will also remove the Pear_Graphviz which is in the lib folder and add it as a dependency.

I have prepared a lot of the code to be decoupled so we can use dependencies in PEAR and still include the dependencies on a download from Github.

I expect to finish this up in the upcoming month.

That would be great! I'm happy to help with this if you want it.

This was fixed in v0.9.5 (which I just released); the Zend, Markdown and GraphViz packages are now dependencies of the PEAR package and are no longer packaged
