Hi, I've just found that composer/installer doesn't support wordpress-core type. Having this type really helps to install Wordpress in a separate directory where you want.
I really can't understand why all issues were closed with a request for implementation. But it would make the installation quite convenient.
List of closed issues:
- Allow per package installer-paths for unmanaged types (or add a special type) #129
- Add wordpress-core type #77
WordPress has not been using Composer approach for 20 years and will not use it in the nearest future. What I suggest - help developers install Wordpress as wordpress-core package in a custom directory.
In that case, developers don't need to use unofficial installers for it, which works really badly. It can be more standardized. Ultimately we did it for wordpress-plugin and wordpress-theme.
Please, don't close this issue, let's give the a chance community to put their thoughts also.
