official packagist and releases missing

[amodliszewski]

Hi,

Is there any reason why this repo is available on packagist via forks with some mysterious releases? Would be nice if someone could just do it on official way. Also this repository don't have any releases.

But installation in most intuitive way works:

https://packagist.org/packages/paylane/client

composer req paylane/client
Using version ^1.1 for paylane/client
./composer.json has been created
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Package operations: 1 install, 0 updates, 0 removals
  - Installing paylane/client (1.1.0): Downloading (100%)         
Writing lock file
Generating autoload files

More confucting is relation between polish and english documentation

What I suspect:

That pages

https://paylane.pl/devzone/api/#integracja-przez-api

and

https://devzone.paylane.com/api-guide/paylane-rest-client/

have only differenet language but the same layout and content.

What I get:

these pages are different.

[amodliszewski]

Yes however paylane/client package on packages points to this fork https://github.com/mlebkowski/paylane_php

In case of any commits appearing here, they might and most likely will be missing from that fork used in packagist. Docs is completely different story

[mlebkowski]

Yes, the packagist package is from my fork and I have no intentions of maintaining it

Similar problem is here:

I send email to sales@paylane.com

So we - (I means developers using this service) please to add possibility of install your SDK by

composer - for php
npm / CDN - for js
other common package managers for other languages

Business advantages:
- you can easy introduce changes using versions of SDK
- you can get benefit from security checkers append to package managers
- you can simplify process of installation for developers using your code
- you can add security fixes in minor versions
- you can measure number of downloads of your tools
- you can be easy found on packages manager searchers like this
- you will be seen as more modern and well-kept service by developers

Probably no one from PayLane team did not know about this problem.
