Pear Core Minimal Laravel Package
pear/pear-core-minimal
Minimal core components for PEAR, providing essential infrastructure for PEAR-based installs and tooling without the full PEAR distribution. Useful for lightweight setups, embedding, or environments that need only the basics of PEAR’s package system.
Product Decisions This Supports
- Legacy system maintenance: Enables gradual migration of PEAR-dependent legacy systems by providing minimal PEAR core compatibility within Composer-based workflows.
- Build vs buy tradeoff: Avoids rebuilding legacy PEAR components from scratch when migration timelines are constrained, but only as a temporary bridge—not a long-term solution.
- Use case specificity: Only relevant for projects with hard dependencies on PEAR classes (e.g., outdated enterprise systems where refactoring is prohibitively risky or costly).
When to Consider This Package
- ✅ Only for legacy projects with no viable alternatives for critical PEAR dependencies (e.g., proprietary systems tied to PEAR libraries).
- ✅ During phased migration where immediate removal of PEAR is impossible, but the roadmap includes deprecation within 12–18 months.
- ❌ Never for new projects—use modern Composer
