I’m buidling a new appliction, eventually I’m planning on releasing it onto the Internet for free consumption.

In an effort to reduce the final download size of the package I would like to only bundle the absolute bare ZF components used by my app:

Zend
Zend_Application
Zend_Config
Zend_Config_Ini
...

I could manually do this – though I’d rather not. Is there a tool around that I can point to my application, it can scan the PHP codebase and create a package with all classes referenced.

I know ZF2 uses composer.json to take care of this – however I’m building on ZF 1.11

    No, there is no tool, to do this job for you. However, I recommend not to break the ZF1 into pieces, because it’s not that trivial to track down the several dependencies between the components. There is also no benefit: The autoloader takes care, that only the classes were loaded, that are required, thus you only save a small amount of disk space. Thats not worth all the effort it takes. This means you will definitely feel no difference wether or not you use ZF1 as a whole, or only partial, unless you find broken dependencies you created yourself.
