Difference to composer/installers? #25

Closed jcnventura closed 5 years ago

jcnventura commented 5 years ago

I'm struggling to understand what is the difference between this and composer/installers. Both provide the same extra/installer-paths logic. Was this a precursor to what is now in composer core?

Hi,

The composer/installers has logic that works only if you specify a specific type when developing / constructing your package. See here https://github.com/composer/installers#example-composerjson-file

Mine, just works only if you specify the parameters mentioned in the documentation on any composer package.

That is the main difference.
