As discussed on IRC (and here for memory)

We don't use composer in Fedora.

So composer libraries are installed like any other libraries, new
Guildelines is just about dependencies (simpler to use packagist
registered name than package name which is sometime not obvious).

Composer.json provides lot of useful information.

So move from PEAR to Composer, is mostly a move of source from pear to
git(hub) and scripts from /usr/share/pear to /usrs/share/php

Example: see various spec file of packages already switched (doctrine,
symfony, phpunit, ...)

Notice:
- check dependent packages
- check autoloader stuff (often provided in pear, but not in git(hub),
as composer provides an autoloader. Need to be provided for
compatibility if some dependent packages uses it.

Remi.
