Description

Hi,

I am currently using the project https://github.com/PhilippBaschke/acf-pro-installer to get ACF PRO installed through composer.

While it works great, I need to manually set the version of each ACF version to get the update installed.

That would be great if you could maintain a repository with a simple composer.json file that could be used to enable updates through composer.

Something like https://github.com/johnpbloch/wordpress but with the package format used in https://github.com/PhilippBaschke/acf-pro-installer.

Even if I am a PRO user, a composer.json in this repository should help installation / upgrade through composer also for free version.

What to do you think about that?

Thanks,

Research direction

Review the requested composer.json alongside the package format used by acf-pro-installer and the johnpbloch/wordpress example. First determine how versioned ACF PRO and free-version installation or upgrades should be represented. Done means the repository has an agreed, maintainable Composer package definition that supports the requested update workflow.
