Is it possible to get version 2 with alternative install methods?

[jasonday]

Using:

sudo apt install composer

Is it possible to pass parameters to get version 2? The above is the only way I can seem to get composer to install behind my corporate proxy, but when doing so, I get v1.6.3. I'd like to have 2.x.

Installing composer through apt will install the version available in the APT repository you are using. These repositories are not maintained by the composer team (which is why they are not official installation methods), so you need to contact their maintainers, not the composer team.

I suggest making one official for composer, maybe let's say, apt install compose-official, and we can maintain it, any idea how we can submit an apt?

And also: windows Installer .msi files, and support for other package managers than just apt, like pacman installs, emerge, yum, dnf, zypper, maybe also distribute .deb files for dpkg and publish files for guix packaging support?

I will try to package up and ship the phar as a single file (I mean I am not going to build up packages for all our deps..) using https://cloudsmith.com/ - they seem to have a decent free offer for open source project and I've had it recommended by a few people at this point.
