TASK: Prefer installing of neos and flowpack packages from source

[mficzel]

Since this is the development distribution for neos composer should install all neos packages from source.

Since quite some packages in the flowpack namespace are maintained by neos team members and some are
even installed in a default neos it makes our life easier to install packages from source in the development distribution aswell.

See https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#preferred-install

Resolves: #70

While this is pretty specific, I usually want dev versions of Flowpack or other packages downloaded as source, too. I'd personally prefer a generic auto setting in the distributions…

[mficzel]

In the end it is the neos dev dist that is why i considered it fair to set the config for neos/*.
Adding "*":"auto" in the base dists and "*" : "source" for dev-dists would be fine for me aswell.

"*" : "source" for dev-dists would be fine for me aswell.

Oh no! Having Symfony, Doctrine, … as source would not be what I want!

[mficzel]

Thinking about it tend to not like the idea to force composer into a legacy mode with *:auto. often it is best to configure which is important (version control in a dev dist) and leave the rest to the infrastructure.

into a legacy mode

I am rather unhappy with their choice of wording, TBH. If this was really legacy, they could have named the mode legacy. For me, it does a very logical thing. But that's another story. 🙃

We can add *:auto to dev-dists as those can always be changed. I just would not like it on the base-dists. However neos/*:source imho still makes sense for dev-dists anyways.

Makes sense.

Maybe "flowpack/*": "source" would also be reasonable

[mficzel]

@daniellienert added "flowpack/*":"source" as suggested ... makes sense and life easier for ourself.

Makes sense as far as I can tell. I'm not sure about the *:auto part but I see the argument that "legacy" is probably a bad framing. It's a "no thoughts needed" mode? Let's decide on that independent of this, since afais we agree that neos/* and flowpack/* should be "source"
