Description
We have over 500 pear modules that were added to MacPorts in a batch in 2011, most of which have never been updated since then. I'm guessing most of them are out of date by now. Just looking at a few:
$ port livecheck name:^pear- pear-Archive_Tar seems to have been updated (port version: 1.3.13, new version: 1.4.3) pear-Auth_RADIUS seems to have been updated (port version: 1.0.7, new version: 1.1.0) pear-Auth_SASL seems to have been updated (port version: 1.0.6, new version: 1.1.0) pear-AWSSDKforPHP seems to have been updated (port version: 1.5.8.1, new version: 2.6.16) pear-Cache_Lite seems to have been updated (port version: 1.7.15, new version: 1.8.2) Error: cannot check if pear-Config was updated (The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden) pear-Config_Lite seems to have been updated (port version: 0.2.1, new version: 0.2.6) pear-Console_CommandLine seems to have been updated (port version: 1.2.0, new version: 1.2.2) pear-Console_Getargs seems to have been updated (port version: 1.3.5, new version: 1.4.0) pear-Console_Getopt seems to have been updated (port version: 1.3.1, new version: 1.4.1) pear-Console_Table seems to have been updated (port version: 1.1.4, new version: 1.3.1) pear-Crypt_GPG seems to have been updated (port version: 1.3.2, new version: 1.6.2) Error: cannot check if pear-Crypt_RC4 was updated (The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found) Error: cannot check if pear-Crypt_RSA was updated (The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found) pear-Date seems to have been updated (port version: 1.5.0a2, new version: 1.5.0a4) pear-Date_Holidays seems to have been updated (port version: 0.21.6, new version: 0.21.8) pear-Date_Holidays_Australia seems to have been updated (port version: 0.2.1, new version: 0.2.2) pear-Date_Holidays_Austria seems to have been updated (port version: 0.1.4, new version: 0.1.6) ^CError: Aborted: SIGINT received.
We either need an automated way to update them all, similar to the automated way in which they were presumably originally added, or else a concerted manual effort to update them, or we need to rethink whether we want them in MacPorts at all.
There's only one non-pear port in MacPorts that depends on any pear ports, and that's "base". If we don't want to keep the entire collection of pear modules up to date in MacPorts, we could remove all but those that base needs. Or we could remove all the pear modules and base as well.

I would support removing all the pear modules and base as well if no one wishes to maintain them.
