For those using it via a downloadable package (the doc.php.net PEAR channel at the moment) I don't think switching to Composer (assuming we're not going to be maintaining both distribution channels) will hurt much. It's "composer install" (or some variant thereof) versus "pear install" after all. As someone who has packaged PhD for a (PEAR) release, anything we can do to make our own lives easier would be great: I think Composer would give us that. > > There isn't a huge usegroup for PhD, and the system that use it out > side of php.net haven't upgraded in long long time anyway. > > If you decide on making it a monolithic, or multiple, composer > package(s) I am fine with that. > > I don't remember having installed a standalone app with composer so > unsure how it works, but I trust you know what you are doing so go for > whichever approach you feel is the best :) > > -Hannes >
