Error when installing hoa/ruler with the lowest dependancies about central HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi,

@agallou I understand your problem but why did you need --prefer-lowest ?

Isn't it like install an OS without updates and say "I have my feature, no care about security/bug fix" ?

from central.

Yes with only one package it didn't have much use.

But you could be stuck with a specific version of a dependancy, and in that case the warning should be during the composer install instead of getting an error

from central.

What to do with this issue? Can we close it?

@Hywan I don't know what to do with this "issue" since Hoa work with Rush Release.
The only way to fix it should be to updates the lowest dependencies and make anew release on each dependents libraries when we release a new fix/feature. And it's simply too many work…

from central.

Exactly, it's simply a huge amount of work, and we do not have the force to do that so far. So I would be likely to close the issue and re-open it if someone encounter the same issue one day.

Thoughts?

Ok, go for it

@Hywan on the atoum ruler-ext, we fixed the problem using the conflict section in the composer.json (https://github.com/atoum/ruler-extension/blob/master/composer.json#L8-L14).

Anyone having the same issue can resolve it the same way: marking external dependency as conflicting will prevent composer installing them.

Dealing with this on your side might be a lot of work as it will require to go back to each release, fix the problem and issue new ones (corrective, z++ with semver). As Hoa does not use semver, this will be hard to release with a correct semantic.

For me it's a 👍 for closing this issue.
