Closed plugins aren't available to install
This suggests that while this plugin is currently closed (temporary, per the repo), it should still be available to install via Composer. But when I attempt to install it:
➜ public git:(main) ✗ composer require wpackagist-plugin/directorist
In PackageDiscoveryTrait.php line 361:
Could not find package wpackagist-plugin/directorist.
Did you mean this?
wpackagist-plugin/directorist-wpml-integration
It's unavailable. This is destructive in a situation where I've already required this package and on a fresh, cache-less composer install
, it will fail to resolve.
Potentially the issue here is that ultimately, the SVN repo is referenced rather than mirrored, and WP.org is not currently making those endpoints available?
Ideally, something like a temporary closure should continue to function, whereas a permanent closure would use the established Composer functionality around abandoned packages. Not sure if the WP repo API offers that kind of granular information in that scenario.
