I am implementing a project that I want to share via Packagist. Usually, the composer.json file would be in the project root directory, but I want to have all the composer-related files and directories under the subdirectory /private/composer. After moving composer.json, composer.lock and vendor, Packagist is not able to find the composer.json on my remote repository, so my project will not auto-update anymore.
Is it possible to do what I want and still have Packagist auto-updating the project?
The project structure I want to achieve is like this:
.
├── .editorconfig
├── .git
│ ├── branches
│ ...
├── .gitignore
├── .htaccess
├── license.txt
├── private
│ ├── composer
│ │ ├── composer.json
│ │ ├── composer.lock
│ │ └── vendor
│ │ ├── autoload.php
│ │ ...
│ ├── npm
│ │ ├── package.json
│ │ ├── package-lock.json
│ │ └── node_modules
│ │ ...
├── public
│ └── index.php
└── readme.md
Moreover, even if it was possible, I would not recommend it - this is unusual configuration and it would only confuse users of your package.
