[Question] Why differentiate copy-from-recipe and copy-from-package? about flex

[fabpot]

That's a lot of questions.

• copy-from-recipe is sometimes needed to integrate packages that are not meant to work with Symfony out of the box (see sensiolabs/security-checker for an example where creating a bundle would be overkill)

• The recipes are not "stored" on the client, but served by https://flex.symfony.com/. There is a local HTTP cache under ~/.composer/ though.

• No, recipes cannot be part of the package contents, but should be hosted on a specific recipes repository. At first, there is only one, but we will support having several ones.

• Same as the previous one. Recipes are stored independently of the packages.
