[Vtigercrm-developers] Composer

[nilay khatri]

Hi Prasad,

That will happen.

At automateCRM we are managing many of the libraries using composer. There
have been cases where certain sub-dependency have been a conflict.

The main reason being that the package is no longer actively maintained.
For such cases we need to do workarounds, such as put the package under a
separate namespace, directory etc..

But, the conflicts are very rare.
