Dear community, I would like to know from you exactly how you are taking (if you are taking) participation in OpenSource?

I want to clarify the question. Once one of the resources that was used by one of the symfony bundles changed the API. Naturally, the code began to work incorrectly and authorization fell off on my resource.

I rummaged, found where the problem is. Redefined the necessary service, made the changes. Well, it goes without saying that it would be nice to offer a pull request to a vendor with corrections to this service.

To do this, I had to pull a bundle into a hotel project, make edits there and send the actual change request itself.

So the question arises. Working in such a way with libraries is completely unrealistic because the libraries are separate, and your project is separate (in fact, really, if you work through tests) and the question is ΠΊΡ‚ΠΎ Ρ‚ΠΎ ΠΊΠ°ΠΊΠΈΠΌ Ρ‚ΠΎ ΠΎΠ±Ρ€Π°Π·ΠΎΠΌ ΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π΅Ρ‚ Π³ΠΎΡ‚ΠΎΠ²Ρ‹ΠΉ Ρ€Π΅Ρ†Π΅ΠΏΡ‚ Ρ€Π°Π±ΠΎΡ‚Ρ‹ со сторонними Π±ΠΈΠ±Π»ΠΈΠΎΡ‚Π΅ΠΊΠ°ΠΌΠΈ ΠΎΠ΄Π½ΠΎΠ²Ρ€Π΅ΠΌΠ΅Π½Π½ΠΎ работая со своим ΠΏΡ€ΠΎΠ΅ΠΊΡ‚ΠΎΠΌ ?

    I don’t think the question is specific to php. We, when working in Unity3d, also use different libraries / plugins. I think in general, everywhere + is the same.

    I think in pieces like node.js / php you could configure local dependencies so that you can conveniently send pull requests, but in any case, you will have to fork the original repository before that.

    So, the mechanism as a whole is similar:

    1. You are using a module / library.
    2. If everything is good, then everything is good (:
    3. If something broke
      1. Fork the original module / library.
      2. Rule there all that is necessary.
      3. Push into your fork and send a pool request.
      4. Collect the module / library (if necessary) and connect to the project as a local dependency.
      5. If your pullroquest is accepted, you can switch back to the remote repository.

    In the case of php, I do not know what is now fashionable. composer? There seems to be an opportunity to connect local packages. So, you will have some dependencies in the old manner from remote reps, and some dependencies on local packages.

    • Well, in fact, yes, you described exactly the same mechanism. Here I was just embarrassed by the fact that you have to fork and edit the library, which "stands alone" is not in the context of the application. I understand that working capacity can (and most importantly, be necessary) be described by tests, but, you see, there is a feeling of inconvenience. But about the remarks to translate the required dependencies into local packages, which were previously forked, it sounds very useful. There were thoughts about this, but somehow they did not take shape in the actions. Yet so as not to "invent" ways, I would like to know how those involved in the opensource do. - zalex
    • Well, yes, of course the question is not specific to PHP, I just gave it as an example, because faced exactly with this. - zalex
