[15:08:47] <AntiComposite>	 _joe_, last error was 2021-02-25 07:05:27 UTC
[15:32:22] <_joe_>	 ok that's great
[17:58:09] <legoktm>	 https://blog.packagist.com/deprecating-composer-1-support/
[17:58:39] <legoktm>	 tl;dr: they're going to keep supporting composer v1, but package updates will take 15 minutes to show up
[18:00:34] <Reedy>	 >First of all we realized in the past few months that 1.x will probably take years to fully go away
[18:00:35] <Reedy>	 lol
[18:00:38] <Reedy>	 YOU ONLY JUST REALISED
[18:01:51] <legoktm>	 they're still supporting PHP 5.3...
[18:02:17] <Reedy>	 lol, 5.3.2 in composer 2.x
[18:02:18] <Reedy>	 nice...
[18:03:25] <Reedy>	 I never quite understood stuff like this
[18:03:51] <Reedy>	 still using an old os, with unsupported PHP, but I must be able to use the latest and greatest 3rd party libraries
[18:04:10] <Reedy>	 who really *needs* to use (or is going to get much benefit from?) composer 2.x while their project still supports PHP 5.3?
[18:04:36] <legoktm>	 yeah I'm not really sure why they didn't bump it to 5.5 or 7.0 in the 2.x switch
[18:04:54] <legoktm>	 I guess they wanted everyone to move to 2.x and thought making that change would be a barrier...except people were going to stay on 1.x regardless
[18:05:24] <Reedy>	 The drama with composer merge plugin was funny
[18:05:36] <Reedy>	 No one articulated a reason that they had to upgrade to 2.x for
[18:05:47] <Reedy>	 Just seemingly unbound constraints meant things broke
[18:06:58] <Reedy>	 though, relatedly... https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/vendor/+/666707
[18:07:11] <Reedy>	 then we can probably move mediawiki vendor to composer 2 too!
[18:12:19] <Majavah>	 "Composer 1 is installed in too many places" - debian stable and ubuntu latest/lts not having v2 yet certainly does not help with that lol
[18:15:03] <legoktm>	 whee
[18:15:27] <legoktm>	 anecdotally, composer 2 does feel faster. no idea whether it actually is though
[18:36:15] <Reedy>	 lol
[18:36:25] <Reedy>	 I'm sure dropping ancient PHP support might help a bit
[19:15:32] <legoktm>	 Reedy: are you ready for +2 on the composer-merge-plugin upgrade? 
[19:16:01] * bd808 needs to adjust his stalk words :)
[21:00:25] <Reedy>	 > Composer 2.1 might still come with PHP 5.3 support, depending on the timeline and which features end up being included, but then at the latest by Composer 2.2 we will drop support for everything older than PHP 7.1.3.
