Maybe add extensions/libraries required by Wordpress to composer file #12

I'm not certain about what extensions and libraries Wordpress actually requires to run, and which one of those that are considered "default" in php. But I think it would be a nice addition to indicate what Wordpress actually requires when adding it to a project.

I've recently tried setting up a wp+composer project with docker, and ran into a problem where some of the extensions were not enabled by default in the php docker image. I guess I would have figured out the problem quicker if I knew that some extensions were missing.

@LeoColomb oh wow, I haven't seen that. Is this live yet?

LeoColomb commented 4 years ago

@tomasruud I don't think so... Honestly, even as a contributor, the pace of development and releasing of the Roots team is difficult to follow, since we do not have access to project discussions, so I don't know what is the status of the wp-packager. 😉

@LeoColomb Regarding project discussions about roots/wordpress-packager: literally everything is in issues and on GH. There hasn't been any discussion elsewhere. I can add a roadmap to https://github.com/roots/wordpress-packager/projects to make it easer to follow/easy to see what the next step is. It's definitely been slow going because I don't have a budget to work on roots/wordpress-packager and nobody has really been asking for it. I can get a proposal rolling though. roots/wordpress-packager is definitely gonna be easier to maintain/more well-tested than what is in this repo currently.

@tangrufus In the meantime maybe we backport this feature to this repo just like we were gonna do with https://github.com/roots/wordpress/pull/9 ?

Main challenge is to find out required extensions/libraries for different WordPress versions.

http://displaywp.com/version/52/ is the closest thing I could find. However, it doesn't include extension info.

Similar situation to me. I started ItinerisLtd/wordpress-packager because I wanted to make a composer plugin to perform signature verification during composer install. However, it seems those signatures never been published. Probably, I won't spend much time on this project and wordpress-packager until wp.org actually set up signature verification.
