Because we wanted to allow composer deployments having a git repository somewhere to get it from was already set, but the customer requested a link to a ZIP file.

That means, as long as you stick to the php universe like stat(), lstat(), file_exists(), is_writable(), is_readable(), is_executable(), is_file(), is_dir(), is_link(), filectime(), fileatime(), filemtime(), fileinode(), filegroup(), fileowner(), filesize(), filetype(), and fileperms() everything is fine, but don’t mix it with exec(„rm -rf $yourEscapeDirectory“); More on this […]

Today I had a weird behaviour of one of our customers store. We tried to install the Shopware Security Plugin and what happened was: TL;DR: Opcache. I turned to Shopware’s slack and asked the community. We had this behaviour in the past, but I couldn’t remember what the problem was. Thankfully I got an answer […]
