Packagist package breaking everything that uses symfony/polyfill-ctype

[rtrvrtg]

I’ve got more investigation to do on this, but it appears that in Composer 1.8.0, there’s a version constraint in your dependency list that’s breaking everything else that tries to use it. It wouldn’t matter except that when Composer updates its provides lists from packagist, every single provided package gets parsed, and there’s no way to exclude r6api/client. This appears to be similar to what got fixed in #15. As soon as I get the chance I’ll post more details.

Here's my output from Composer pointing to your repo. I'm using it through the Composer Manager module for Drupal 7:

$ drush composer-manager install -vvv

After some search, I found that on packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/r6api/client#1.1.0
With v1.1 we still have the

Replaces: symfony/polyfill-ctype: *

I don't understand why actually, will try to find more later, hope this can help.

[rtrvrtg]

Looks like the version of Composer that comes with Drupal's Drush Composer plugin is still locked to 1.0.0, which is way behind the latest version 1.8.0.
For what it's worth, your constraint seems to work fine when it's updated to this version, so I don't feel quite so urgent about this now, since I presume that the version constraint parser was improved sometime during this stretch, enough to handle ^v1.0. But yeah, I can keep helping you diagnose what's going on.

[Korbeil]

Sorry for delay, I just fixed last release with that replace problem, everything should be fixed now.
