libyear 4.1.0

php-libyear

A simple measure of dependency freshness

Calculates the total number of years behind their respective newest versions for all dependencies listed in composer.json.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or later

Installation

Simply download libyear.phar from the latest release.

Put it in the current directory, or your $PATH to be able to reference it from anywhere.

Usage

php libyear.phar { path to project } [-q]

Arguments:

• path to project: required, directory containing composer.json and composer.lock files
• -q: optional, quiet mode will only output libraries which are not up-to-date (that is, where "Libyears Behind" > 0)

Contributing

When testing new features and bug fixes, you can run the script via php libyear.php { path } [-q] before building the phar file.

To build the phar file for final manual testing, run php -dphar.readonly=0 build.php. You may wish to run composer install --no-dev first to speed up the build process by removing dev dependencies, but will need to reinstall them via composer install (specifically, phpunit and mockery for unit testing).
