**Here's the patches and process currently used by myDropWizard for Roundearth.io:**
*Patches:*
1. Find CKEditor relative to the resource URL: https://github.com/mydropwizard/civicrm-core/commit/9fc3877e2eb14e2829b530445c5e5491afc4bbe
2. Look for vendor directory above web root: https://github.com/mydropwizard/civicrm-core/commit/f57954392f8026d17b7f19f7c01ceeb65e703384
Both of those could probably be merged upstream?
*Process:*
1. Build process to copy web assets to `WEBROOT/libraries/civicrm` so they are web accessible. Here's the version from [roundearth's build process](https://gitlab.com/mydropwizard/roundearth-drops-8/blob/master/rebuild.sh#L74):
```
# Copy CiviCRM assets
asset_source=./vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core
asset_dest=./web/libraries/civicrm
mkdir -p $asset_dest
rsync -mr --include='*.'{html,js,css,svg,png,jpg,jpeg,ico,gif,woff,woff2,ttf,eot} --include='*/' --exclude='*' $asset_source/ $asset_dest/
rm -rf $asset_dest/tests
cp -r $asset_source/extern $asset_dest/
cp $asset_source/civicrm.config.php $asset_dest/
cat << EOF > $asset_dest/settings_location.php
<?php
define('CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '../../../sites');
EOF
```
2. Set the "Resource URL" to `[cms.root]/libraries/civicrm/`
**Getting support for this upstream:**
1. I think the patches might be good to just commit upstream? They don't seem controversial
2. The build process could be put in a PHP class in civicrm-corm which could be referred to as a script in a sites composer.json
3. We should be able to detect that we're using the vendor outside the webroot - could we somehow make the necessary "Resource URL" the default?5.5.0
