Composer repository #5

It would be great to have this under Composer, which is the de-facto standard dependency manager for PHP: https://getcomposer.org/

We're not sure that would be an option. Composer works great when it comes to libraries, but it's not really designed for complete solutions.

I disagree. Take a look at https://github.com/fancyguy/webroot-installer, it's used to install complete solutions (like wordpress) in a "webroot" fashion, like this mail client. Putting a composer package under this would help to ease the process, specially when it comes to updating.

Well, that's a good point. It's just not enough to deploy the product, though - installing WebMail assumes you set up the database, and updating requires performing backup. Aside from that, using Composer makes sense indeed.
