I think the phar format is not "the preferred form for modification" (it is not unarchivable with common tools). One more example of PHP guys reinventing the wheel (at least Java's jar files are zip file with a manifest). We can create the orig source from a git tag (example: [1]). Building the phar is not necessary (but it is possible). Reading [2], I hope there won't be bootstrap problem.

Composer is not a PEAR package, so you have to take inspiration from php-sabredav (I have not looked deeply). > [...] > > thanks > andrea > > -- > andrea rota > > Xelera - IT infrastructures > http://xelera.eu/contact-us/ -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
