Co-oping with johnpbloch/wordpress, how?

[lkraav]

If my project is already using johnpbloch/wordpress as dependency, how's this going to work out? Seems like I would need to maintain a wordbless fork with roots/wordpress swapped out? Or maybe some composer magic can send roots/wordpress to /dev/null automatically 🤔

Hello Leho! 😆 This is also a viktor-supported project.

You could create a stub package (in form of 1 local composer.json file) that "provide": the Roots package.
May I create that file for you?

Turns out no need for a fake package, it can be done in the main project.
