On the Symfony blog today there's a quick tip from Nicolas Grekas about using Composer to install a Symfony2 project and the definition of minimum version requirements.
Setting up Composer package versions for complex projects is not an easy task. For starters, there are a lot of different ways to define package versions. Then, you must check that declared package versions really work when installing or updating the project, specially for the minimal versions configured.
In order to improve testing the minimal versions of Symfony Components requirements, Composer now includes two new options: prefer-lowest and prefer-stable. [...] Thanks to these two new options, it's really easy to check whether your project really works for the minimal package versions declared by it.
He includes definitions of what impact each of the options has on the packages Composer installs and the work that's been done recently to define the correct package versions for the 2.3, 2.5 and 2.6 branches of Symfony. He also offers some steps to follow in your own projects to ensure that the "prefer-lowest" packages installed work correctly.
