In my Laravel projects, there are a few packages of much more niche/hobbyist origin without corporate backing, some haven’t been updated for a while, and others are perfectly fine and don’t need much maintenance. Normally, packages are listed in my composer.json and stored in vendor/. For those packages, I created a separate folder called vendor_private/ which is part of my Git tree, put copies of these weird little packages in it, and set up my composer.json to consider that folder a repository. Works like a charm. My big important packages are still upstream. I can customize the little ones as needed to fit better, or have better code, and not worry about them going unmaintained. It’s also way quicker than copying the files individually out of the package and into the right places (along with updating Namespaces, configuration, etc.) Once in a while, I’ll go back and see if anything worthwhile has changed upstream - and so far, it never has. |
