README

This plugin allows to choose which packages should be installed in a shared directory with their version number as in this example:

Case 1: inside the package

vendor
├── autoload.php
├── composer
└── itscaro
    └── composer-global-installer

vendor-global/
└── zendframework
    ├── zendframework1-1.12.3
    └── zendframework1-1.12.6

Case 2: outside the package (globally shared for instance)

/package/
vendor
├── autoload.php
├── composer
└── itscaro
    └── composer-global-installer

/usr/share/php/
vendor-global/
└── zendframework
    ├── zendframework1-1.12.3
    └── zendframework1-1.12.6
