++ Description

The PHP ecosystem has increasingly moved from pear to composer as the  
default installer. The changed paradigm (global versus local  
dependency management) attracts many users and developers.

+++ Runtime dependencies

++++ horde-db-migrate and web migrator

horde-db-migrate "forgets" to migrate or even acknowledge libraries in  
git checkouts where the pear channel is not present.
https://github.com/horde/Core/pull/2

++++ l10n/translation tools?

+++ Installation

++++ Document .horde.yml format and how it relates to composer json  
and pear xml



++++ Generate composer json file from .horde.yml


components/lib/Helper/Composer.php currently depends on conductor and  
gets its data from package.xml
anything handling package.xml is broken without pear though. Always  
need to register the horde channel

rewrite all pear.horde.org dependencies to vcs type dependencies github/horde/

Other resources
Do we want to keep a whitelist of other channels/packages which should  
be pulled from packagist or github rather than pear?

++++ Composer plugin: install apps below base rather than vendor/

(we don't want /vendor/ web-readable)

++++ Composer plugin: copy, move or link js content from libraries to horde/js

Maybe refactor functionality from git-tools


+++ Packagist

Add tool chain to create and update packages on packagist for easier  
consumption.
