Manually installing a PEAR package

[formasfunction]

I've been trying to install the following PEAR package
[bugs.joestump.net...]
and it appears that the channel is no longer working. I was able to download the source from elsewhere on the author's site and it includes a package.xml file for PEAR with all dependencies and such. Is there a way to install this package on my local machine through PEAR so that it will go ahead and grab those dependencies?

Looks like all I needed to do was provide a valid path on my local machine to the .tar file and it installed without a problem, like so:

# pear install --alldeps /Framework-0.4.0.tar

The PEAR documentation explains all the details in regards to Installing packages [pear.php.net].
