 To run the Symfony2 test suite, install PHPUnit 3.5.0 or later first. As it is
 not stable yet, your best bet is to use the latest version from the
-repository:
+repository, which is for now the 3.5.0RC2 :
 
 .. code-block:: bash
 
     $ git clone git://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit.git
     $ cd phpunit
+
+.. note::
+   You can list the tags of PHPUnit's repo with 'git tag', then quickly point out the last one.
+
+At this point you are working on the master branch, so let's switch to the last tag for some stability:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ git checkout -b origin/3.5.0RC2 3.5.0RC2
+    
+Finally, use PEAR to install the binaries of the last tag (use 'pear install -f' to force the installation of betas versions) :
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
     $ pear package
-    $ pear install PHPUnit-3.5.XXX.tgz
+    $ pear install -f PHPUnit-3.5.0RC2.tgz
+
+As you're using an unstable version of PHPUnit, you should really run it on itself :
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ phpunit
