Hi *,
lately I was thinking about using composer to add 3rd party libs to
DokuWiki. Here are just a few rough thoughts and I would appreciate
your feedback on it.
Not being a core developer and experience with dependency management
limited to the Java environment I can say that a dependencymanager
really only starts to pay off:
- when there are (many) transitive dependencies
- when updates/release in the list of dependencies are frequent
- dependencies have well defined interfaces/API; so changes between
released don't come with a lot of backward compatibility problems
That being said, if you were to "componentize" parts of DW it would pay
off in easier to understand "parts" because encapsulation happens (not
entirely sure how strong this scoping is in PHP).
Mark.
