Composer project bare minimum

[jsakars]

composer.json like such should be enough to have fully functional M2 CE.

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://repo.magento.com/"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "magento/product-community-edition": "2.0.2"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Magento\\Framework\\": "lib/internal/Magento/Framework/",
            "Magento\\Setup\\": "setup/src/Magento/Setup/",
            "Magento\\": "app/code/Magento/"
        },
        "files": [
            "app/etc/NonComposerComponentRegistration.php"
        ]
    },
    "minimum-stability": "alpha"
}

However one of documented CRON jobs must execute update/cron.php.
update/ directory is part of the magento2-community-edition library itself and obviously would not be downloaded during composer install/update. It seems that the only option is to have a copy of it along side Your composer.json. Having copy of it doesn't make sense because:

• they are M2 files not "Yours"
• You would need to regularly sync(copy-paste) it from original source to make sure You have latest version

Would like to understand what is the clean, bare minimum of files required to have M2 Composer based project?

@werdlv , bare minimum does not include "update" folder. "update" folder is required for Setup Wizard application, which allows upgrades via GUI. If you don't need this flow, "update" folder may be skipped. In this case the only cron that should be configured is bin/magento cron:run
