Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP v7.4 or later - Composer v2 Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Recommended: Composer [](#recommended-composer) Run `composer global require ecoapm/libyear` and make sure your global composer directory is in your `$PATH`. Alternatively, `composer require --dev ecoapm/libyear` will add `libyear` as a local dev dependency for your current directory's app. ### Alternative: PHP Archive (PHAR) File [](#alternative-php-archive-phar-file) Download `libyear.phar` from the latest release, and put it in the current directory, or somewhere in your `$PATH` to be able to reference it from anywhere. ### Windows Users [](#windows-users) Note that PHP for Windows does not include CA certificates, so you'll need to install them if you haven't done so already: 1. Download to somewhere permanent (PHP's `extras` directory is a great place) 2. Add `curl.cainfo = "[full path to]\cacert.pem"` to your `php.ini` file Usage ----- [](#usage) `vendor/bin/libyear { path to project } [-q]` (or `php path/to/libyear.phar { path to project } [-q]` for the PHAR version) Arguments: - `path to project`: required, directory containing `composer.json` and `composer.lock` files - `-q`: optional, quiet mode will only output libraries which are not up-to-date (that is, where "Libyears Behind" > 0) ### Limitations [](#limitations) - Currently only packages listed on Packagist are supported (feel free to submit a PR for issue #1) Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please be sure to read and follow ecoAPM's [Contribution Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) when submitting issues or pull requests. When testing new features and bug fixes, you can run the script via `./libyear { path } [-q]` before building the `phar` file. To build the `phar` file for final manual testing, run `php -dphar.readonly=0 build.php`. You may wish to run `composer install --no-dev` first to speed up the build process by removing dev dependencies, but will need to reinstall them via `composer install` (specifically, `phpunit` and `mockery` for unit testing). ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 57% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity12 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 52.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~241 days Total 5 Last Release 1390d ago Major Versions 1.0.0 → 2.0.02021-09-15 PHP version history (2 changes)1.0.0PHP ^7.4 2.0.0PHP >=7.4 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2069361?v=4)[Patrick](/maintainers/Bedrock)[@Bedrock](https://github.com/Bedrock) --- Top Contributors [![SteveDesmond-ca](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/195896?v=4)](https://github.com/SteveDesmond-ca "SteveDesmond-ca (25 commits)")[![SteamDragonLady](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/43454064?v=4)](https://github.com/SteamDragonLady "SteamDragonLady (15 commits)")[![dependabot[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/29110?v=4)](https://github.com/dependabot[bot] "dependabot[bot] (3 commits)")[![cyril-flieller](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10221012?v=4)](https://github.com/cyril-flieller "cyril-flieller (2 commits)")[![faby-nikson](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/41300473?v=4)](https://github.com/faby-nikson "faby-nikson (2 commits)")[![greg0ire](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/657779?v=4)](https://github.com/greg0ire "greg0ire (1 commits)") ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/bedrockstreaming-libyear/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/bedrockstreaming-libyear/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/bedrockstreaming-libyear) ``` ### Alternatives [craftcms/cms Craft CMS 3.6k3.6M3.1k](/packages/craftcms-cms)[statamic/cms The Statamic CMS Core Package 4.8k3.6M986](/packages/statamic-cms)[drupal/core Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. 21866.0M1.7k](/packages/drupal-core)[drupal/core-recommended Locked core dependencies; require this project INSTEAD OF drupal/core. 6942.5M421](/packages/drupal-core-recommended)[pantheon-systems/terminus A command line interface for Pantheon 3391.5M18](/packages/pantheon-systems-terminus)[symfony/asset-mapper Maps directories of assets & makes them available in a public directory with versioned filenames. 1678.8M237](/packages/symfony-asset-mapper) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
