[TYPO3-ect] PEAR extension praxis test

[Daniel Brüßler]

Hello Elmar,

I that's the first time since years I know PEAR that go-pear.org is not
reachable.

But you're right. I've got to implement also http://pear.php.net/go-pear
as mirror and also a static file as fallback.

All the checks when downloading it (if the internet-connection is there,
rights to store the file) are in the current version I'm uploading next.

I did it some days ago but need some tests because of the
openbasedir-restriction-feature before I can upload it. Another test I
have to do if the change to PATH_typo3conf. 'pear/PEAR' is working
properly when I update to a new version of the pear-Extension. (=the new
location!)

Shall I also put the package "PEAR::Pager" as a static version as
fallback into the extension? So the result-browser is always installable
even when there's no internet-connection.

kind regards
Daniel
