@ -593,13 +593,22 @@ The following options are supported:
* **github-protocols:** Defaults to `["git", "https", "http"]`. A list of
protocols to use for github.com clones, in priority order. Use this if you are
behind a proxy or have somehow bad performances with the git protocol.
* **notify-on-install:** Defaults to `true`. Composer allows repositories to
define a notification URL, so that they get notified whenever a package from
that repository is installed. This option allows you to disable that behaviour.
* **cache-dir:** Defaults to `$home/cache` on unix systems and
`C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Composer` on Windows. Stores all the caches
used by composer. See also [COMPOSER_HOME](03-cli.md#composer-home).
* **cache-files-dir:** Defaults to `$cache-dir/files`. Stores the zip archives
of packages.
* **cache-repo-dir:** Defaults to `$cache-dir/repo`. Stores repository metadata
for the `composer` type and the VCS repos of type `svn`, `github` and `*bitbucket`.
* **cache-vcs-dir:** Defaults to `$cache-dir/vcs`. Stores VCS clones for
loading VCS repository metadata for the `git`/`hg` types and to speed up installs.
* **cache-files-ttl:** Defaults to `15552000` (6 months). Composer caches all
dist (zip, tar, ..) packages that it downloads. Those are purged after six
months of being unused by default. This option allows you to tweak this
duration (in seconds) or disable it completely by setting it to 0.
* **notify-on-install:** Defaults to `true`. Composer allows repositories to
define a notification URL, so that they get notified whenever a package from
that repository is installed. This option allows you to disable that behaviour.
