Task #68700
Updated by Helmut Hummel over 8 years ago
Since the composer handling in TYPO3 6.2 is not perfect and you quite easy run into troubles when it comes to dependency handling, I have a suggestion to improve the current situation. situation for TYPO3 6.2. My suggestion is to ignore the Composer dependencies in the TYPO3 Extension Manager completely and only respect the @ext_emconf.php@ files. This would makes things a lot easier: In the @composer.json@ files you could use real Composer Package names for dependency handling (e.g. typo3-ter/my-dependency or even my-vendor/mypackage for packages from Packagist). In the @ext_emconf.php@ files you use Extension keys. No need for "replace" configuration in the @composer.json@ files any more. No more hassle with underscore / dash naming. I'll push my proposed solution to Gerrit.
