Loopback for the changes Zend directory

[addison74]

I have an old store that has mandatory changes in the files located here /lib/Zend/Locale/Data/{en.xml, ...}, mainly for currency positions with different languages.

Meanwhile we removed Magento Zend from /app/.code/core and /lib, and OpenMage now requests using Composer to install ZF1-Future. If I change the files in this directory /vendor/shardj/zf1-future/library/Zend/Locale/Data they will be replaced with every update.

Do we have a loopback for changes related to the Zend folder? I tried to copy the modified files in both directories /app/code/core/Zend and /lib/Zend without any luck.

composer patches like shown here: https://github.com/fballiano/mcommerce/blob/main/composer.json

you can patch anything coming from composer with this method

[fballiano]

actually we have them also in openmage's composer.json

Thank you. I will document myself to make a patch, I suspected that this is the solution. If Composer updates, will the patch be applied afterwards every time?

[fballiano]

you may have to update the patches but storing a patch makes a porting much easier because you know exactly what lines you're changing, while having a full file makes it more difficult to remember what you tweaked

Maybe this is also the solution to #3462 - atleast for small code changes.

Thank you. There are a lot of solutions searching on the Internet. One very simple is as follows
