Hi @Seldaek, I just wanted to check if we're still ok to go for this approach (submitting patches for the Composer installer), or would you recommend we roll our own plugin which is specific to Moodle? I note that the recommendation in Composer docs is to use the new Composer API to access plugins by type from the vendor directory, but sadly we're some time away from being able to do this (though it is on my radar). I also note that there is a related PR (#550) which has been waiting for PR for some time and this project has not seen a patch for some time. Cheers |

This set of changes adds support for: - the 'public' directory introduced in Moodle 5.1 - the ability for Moodle to be installed as a Composer dependency - configuration of an installation-specific prefix for the Moodle 'core' path I've also: - updated the plugin type list for Moodle 5.1 - removed the `admin_report` plugin type which has not been a valid plugin type for about 15 years.

Hey @andrewnicols I think it's fine to update the installer here if you're ok with slight delays.. I'll try to get on this review at some point but might be another couple weeks. |

Ah never mind I see this reads from moodle itself and not just the root package so you cannot exactly fix this name anymore I guess.

I think this would be safer but please do check it works for your use case still.
