Ah, thanks for your really clear answer ! Don't you think you can add something about the "repository-url" parameter in the packagist page ? | Florian REY Développeur Symfony 2 Sénior - [@Elao](https://twitter.com/Elao) E-mail : [florian.rey@elao.com](mailto:florian.rey@elao.com) \- Site internet : [http://www.elao.com](http://www.elao.com/) Paris / Lyon / Montpellier - Tel : +33 (0)4 82 53 37 19 ---|---

Yes, it would be great. Unfortunately it's not easy with current state of Packagist. That's why the Packagist package is abandoned and our documentation describes recommended way to install phpMyAdmin using composer:
<http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#installing-using-composer>
The whole problem is that we do some postprocessing on release time, what can not be achieved with Packagist - it can only take git repository as is. See https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/11508 for more details.
