Distribute a single PHAR file as composer package

Currently the phar file update is manual.

Could we create a Composer package that contains only the phar file?

I'm not sure I understand. Can you elaborate what you mean by that?

[szepeviktor]

There could be a composer package named wp-cli/wp-cli-phar which would contain only 1 phar file. This way we could prevent dependency conflicts.

Sounds like a good idea. Are you into providing a PR for that? If so, let me know and I'll create the corresponding repository.
