I will just post this here, well knowing it's probably way to little of an issue to change anything but i want to make my case clear anyways.
Today i encountered an potential for month / years undiscovered issue because of the name of the composer dependency wikimedia/less.php.
We are building a rather big software and have a mechanism to build our update packages using rsync for example to make use of filters and include/excludes.
In this particular case we're copying over all files expect php files because they are getting handled a different way.
A dummy rsync command for this looks like this
rsync -av --links --quiet ./vendor/ ./dst/ --exclude='*.php' --exclude='*.inc'
Today is discovered this and of course this command did all our composer dependencies over EXCEPT for wikimedia/less.php because of how the package / folder is named.
We solved this easily but i fear the package name in itself has potential for more easy to miss issues for other projects in the future.
🥳 Thanks for reading.
