What use cases did I miss? What other concerns do we
have for this process?
The email subject does not cover third party users, so apologies if
this is not the correct place for this.
Currently updating
translatewiki.net codebase is annoying, as git does
not handle files replaced with symlinks well.
I am not happy since I had to spent unplanned effort to be able
install extensions via composer just a short while ago. We replace
composer.json with symlink to our configuration repo, where it
includes the extension we install via composer.
Ori has come up with a good solution for this issue, but that solution
requires changes to Composer. To me it looks like nobody is currently
working on that.
Is there a way I can expedite this fix?
Thank you for your efforts to bring composer support to MediaWiki. I
wish the process was less rough for me.
