Description: ------------ I think it could be usefull to display channel alias when running command: pear list-channels I (prefer to) used myself alias than full channel name. Sometimes when I don't used a channel since a long time I forgot its alias: and pear list-channels could be the best solution to easily retrieve it. Patch provided is very simple Expected result: ---------------- REGISTERED CHANNELS: ==================== CHANNEL ALIAS SUMMARY doc.php.net phpdocs PHP Documentation team pear.firephp.org firephp Server code for FirePHP Firefox Extension (http://www.firephp.org/) pear.php.net pear PHP Extension and Application Repository pear.phpunit.de phpunit PHPUnit channel server pecl.php.net pecl PHP Extension Community Library __uri __uri Pseudo-channel for static packages Actual result: -------------- REGISTERED CHANNELS: ==================== CHANNEL SUMMARY doc.php.net PHP Documentation team pear.firephp.org Server code for FirePHP Firefox Extension (http://www.firephp.org/) pear.php.net PHP Extension and Application Repository pear.phpunit.de PHPUnit channel server pecl.php.net PHP Extension Community Library __uri Pseudo-channel for static packages

The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: Alias Revision: 1241993158 URL: http://pear.php.net/bugs/patch-display.php?bug=16213&patch=Alias&revision=1241993158&display=1

I will put this into 1.8.2 or 1.8.3 I agree with you that this is useful and required.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
