Comment (by Rarst):

 > Regarding versions, we're going to want to put the version directly into
 the composer.json file

 Probability of that going horribly wrong at some point is about 100% :)

 any more

 Subversion paths are mappable
 http://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#subversion-options , however
 if I got new things right we would want "old" repository with "built"
 results and tags and everything anyway.

 Actually might want to ponder if it's preferable to point packages at SVN
 or GitHub mirror. Pointing to GitHub will provide HTTP downloads
 automagically with Composer.

 One more thing I wanted to mention - are there any more platform
 dependencies we would want to require or suggest in `composer.json`? Like
 what images stuff needs currently, etc.
