 [09:43] <bramstroker> Hi, does composer provide some option to use 'prefer-source' for a particular package and 'prefer-dist' for all other packages?
 [09:45] <bramstroker> My question arrises because I want to subclass Zend Framework 2 classes in my own testsuite, but the tests directory is ignored for export (ignore-export in .gitattributes).
 [09:46] <bramstroker> prefer-source for all packages is not really an option because I don't need all the VCS overhead on my build server and composer install will take like 15 minutes.
 [09:55] <ocramius> bramstroker: you shouldn't import classes from the zf2 test suite, they're  not reusable code
 [09:58] <bramstroker> @ocramius, I've created my own cache storage adapter and ZF2 provides a CommonAdapterTest, so it seems common sense to me to extend from it instead of duplicating the code into my own library.
 [09:59] <ocramius> bramstroker: yes, but the test suite is not stable
 [10:01] <bramstroker> ocramius: ok. that's a good argument.
 [10:01] <bramstroker> So only option left for me is to duplicate the CommonAdapterTest into my own codebase?
 [10:03] <ocramius> I think so
 [10:04] <ocramius> you can also ping mabe and ask for a solution
