PS i'm not so practice with composer ( used few times ) but when modular systems , such as CMS , give the possibility to extends them with external components...i don't think that composer could solve this problem. It is actually already happening. You should really really really check it out before going further in exploring already explored grounds.

The real problem here is with PEAR being installed as part of the distribution, and not then being compatible with other applications. The safest way to use this is by bundling the correct version with the application, but that does create bigger downloads. Even were applications using the like of Zend framework need the correct version given the number of wrapper systems that go with it. Composer is just another complication that has to be added to the mix ... and not currently common in linux distributions? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
