Composer is a github-centric dependency management tool for PHP applications. It works very well on its own, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to integrate it with pkg building. The composer workflow is: 1. Clone the PHP application repo, which has a composer.json file 2. Download composer.phar and run `php composer.phar ...` 3. Composer examines composer.json and downloads dependencies from other github repos 4. Composer creates an autoloader script that does all of the require calls for the dependencies The problem is that download and autoloader script part. If I ran it as part of the pkg building process, there's a fetch-extract race as it needs network access, but also a file extracted from the distfile. If I left it to user config, the autoloader script creation will change a file managed by pkg. So how do I do this? Can a composer-using PHP application be ported?
