The Micro PHP Manifesto's Missing Tenet

For this item:

"PHP needs a modern package manager"

Is Packagist (http://packagist.org/) going to fill this need?

If not, what is missing? Bigger community? Easier integration? Time?

Very interesting. How has this not gotten more attention? On first glance this is pretty much exactly what I was describing would be valuable. Are you the author?

Well, personally I wouldn't use it, because it doesn't look idiomatic enough.

PHP CMSes had package managers for years. It wouldn't hurt to look at them and learn what they did right and wrong before cloning Ruby/CPAN/NPM solutions.

Some guys in the Symfony community are the authors.

I think Packagist/Composer is on the upswing, but it takes time to spread the word and change such a big/diverse/chaotic community. More prominent projects adopting it will help too :)
