Migration of Zend Framework 1 PEAR channel

The unofficial PEAR channel for Zend Framework 1 was hosted on Google Code at this location: ZF Pear, but since the closing of Google Code we were forced to move it. Zend Framework 1 is still used by a lot of  projects in Production, it's still a viable library collection  and it's also  running on  PHP7 ; even if is only in maintenance/security-patch mode, so it's not an option to cancel it completely. We were unable to migrate the project on github.com since the size of the repository is more then 1 GB. We resorted to building a special server that will host only the PEAR channel for Zend Framework 1 and we are commited to keep it live and running for the long term. Instructions on how to use the new channel can be found below .
