Facilitate installing via Composer.

The Drupal Extension uses the vendor of 'drupal', so I think that makes sense here too. I think makes sense for a variety of use cases.

Actually, this is a duplicate of #1316322: Add PSR-0 autoloader to drush.

bump? Agreed, it is distinct from the linked issue.

See Moshe's comments in #1316322: Add PSR-0 autoloader to drush regarding using `drush` as the vendor. Also, the composer file in that issue is more complete, so bringing that over here would make this RTBC in my opinion.

I'm fine with adding a file like this. Lets use the more complete version that jhedstrom linked to.

Attached is a patch with the composer.json file from #1316322: Add PSR-0 autoloader to drush.

• youngj/httpserver doesn't need the repositories definition anymore
• Drush isn't using HTTPServer through Composer yet, so we don't need to require it quite yet
• Same with the other packages, we should probably add them, along with the autoload key, in the other issues
• Added Drush's bin files

Switched to drush/drush.

In includes/bootstrap.inc:

define('DRUSH_MINIMUM_PHP', '5.3.5');

It would be especially nifty if the bootstrap code could check the composer.json file for the required php version, so that we did not need to maintain this in two places. Failing that, though, these constants should both be the same.

I copied that min PHP version, and changed the homepage to our web site - http://www.drush.org. Committed to 8.x-6.x. I'm fine with committing this to 7.x-5.x too if folks want that.

I went ahead and created a Packagist package - https://packagist.org/packages/drush/drush

Folks who want to do more with composer should look at #1316322: Add PSR-0 autoloader to drush

I'm fine with committing this to 7.x-5.x too if folks want that.

I'd love to see this added for 7.x-5.x. I took a look at the composer.json that's already there for 8.x-6.x, and it should work without modification. Nevertheless, attached is a patch for the current composer.json.

Drush 6 will be out soon, but I expect there will be some more 5.x releases for a while.

Oh, oops: I misread the compatibility note as the 8.x-6.x branch being for Drupal 8 only, but it's not. I don't mind just depending on that, so if I'm the only one looking for this, I guess this could just be closed out again.

I think it's pretty safe to upgrade to 8.x-6.x-rc4 at this point, if there's anything from Drush 6 you need.

This issue was marked closed (won't fix) because Drush has moved to Github.
