Hello Karsten. I must say we never had to "touch" any files before we could update. Once you have SMW installed, with any optional extra extensions, upgrading or downgrading is as "simple" as editing the composer.json file. But when downgrading I mostly delete "everything" SMW related from the composer.json and then run composer update. Then add what we need one by one. This is because composer sometimes complains (complained) about dependencies not being met and I don't understand why it could not find out what it had to do to get it right, maybe then you need to touch the files. I stopped following the composer discussion a long time ago, it is a great tool and it works fine the way we use it. I can not test what James NASA has written because it seems that our PROXY server is somehow messing up the composer SSL connections, we are getting protocol faults. I need to get that fixed first.

The only comment about the text added by James NASA is that it does not explain in which situation or configuration you need to do what. It just "says" that it is sometimes necessary. Just doing "something" because some other undefined something is not working can be "dangerous". Sending astronauts out on a spacewalk telling them to go do "something"... :) I don't think so... Well maybe they do. Now I am being sarcastic, but then again most of the world runs on sarcasm which in my opinion is a good thing. Regards.
