True, composer should be easier to work with than PEAR[1]. However, afaik we never depended on any PEAR packages. We either shipped them (Services_JSON), provided a fallback or made the feature optional / in an extension. -- Krinkle [1] Easier to instal because it requires less permissions since it uses local directory. Easier to deploy because of this. And managed with a manifest in composer.json instead of reading a manual of sorts etc. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
