Consider publishing a phar with releases about phpmnd HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi, I can see phar creator, but I don't know how could it help me.

I want to install phpmnd via https://phar.io. I try:

$ bin/composer.phar phive:run install povils/phpmnd
Phive 0.12.1 - Copyright (C) 2015-2019 by Arne Blankerts, Sebastian Heuer and Contributors
[WARNING] povils/phpmnd 2.0.0: No downloadable PHAR
[WARNING] povils/phpmnd 1.1.1: No downloadable PHAR
[WARNING] povils/phpmnd 1.1.0: No downloadable PHAR
[WARNING] povils/phpmnd 1.0.3: No downloadable PHAR

[WARNING] povils/phpmnd 1.0.1: No downloadable PHAR
[WARNING] povils/phpmnd 1.0.0: No downloadable PHAR
[ERROR]   No matching release found!

Probably because there are no PHARs attached to the releases: https://github.com/povils/phpmnd/releases

Example of releases with PHARs attached: https://github.com/wapmorgan/PhpCodeFixer/releases

Can you add PHPMND PHARs to existing releases? Or maybe publish a new release with PHAR included?

@patrickjahns in the meantime take a look at the composer-bin-plugin. You could use it to install any composer tool global in isolation.

Hey, thanks for the issue. yeah it makes sense

Feature is no longer urgent to me, as I'm planning to introduce the composer-bin-plugin in phpqa. It should help solving the conflicts problem.

A phar archive could still be beneficial to others though.

Joining the conversation - as I would also appreciate a phar release.

Main reasoning for me is, that our large code bases currently supports php5.6 - php7.2. To be able to solve this we required to set the platform to php 5.6 in composer.json. Thus we are not able to require the tool via composer.

However - our CI environment ( as well as some testing environments) are running in php7.1 - so they can parse+analyze the code base easily when running it from a phar

box makes building phar releases very easy
Played around with box and automated phar building - would be happy to help here

Added a PR #77 which allows a phar to be generated
