I think its a bad idea for several reasons:

1. PHPUnit actually has 4-5 dependencies which would need to be shipped aswell. So we have to be up to date with all that. Maintaining it takes lots of time i guess. Installing PHPUnit through PEAR is really easy. 2. Sebastian is usually very fast (in the regions of days and weeks) to fix a bug and release a new version. 3. I agree with David that PHPUnit is not to be put on a production server ever (heard of Github running their testsuite against production database?), shipping PHPUnit will lead to lots of people having phpunit on their production servers.

Hey all,

Would it make sense to add PHPUnit in the Symfony2 vendor directory
and to add a phpunit binary in the project root directory?

This would have two benefits:

- all developers use exactly the same version of PHPUnit
- bugs in PHPUnit can be fixed easier. Right now, most people probably
use the PEAR version of PHPUnit. Installing a separate version of
PHPUnit in a writeable directory, making it work, testing it against a
bug and fixing that bug takes a lot of time. When PHPUnit is under
vendor/, this is much easier.
