+The last successful build went through Feb. 10, 2012. I haven't upgraded and 
+built any after that date until last weekend when they all failed to build.
+I would have to change 80+ packages that are now using the pear type spec. I 
+don't have the bandwith to do that.
+
+The message I get is this:
+
+Unknown channel "pear.horde.org"
+Parsing of package.xml from file "/var/tmp/pearwYoowh/package.xml" failed
+Cannot initialize '/home/iurt/rpm/SOURCES/Horde_Itip-1.0.7.tgz', invalid or 
+missing package file
+Package "/home/iurt/rpm/SOURCES/Horde_Itip-1.0.7.tgz" is not valid
+install failed.
