Require command unable to detect latest stable

[stevelacey]

Composer seems to be unable to detect the latest stable release when running:

composer require beberlei/DoctrineExtensions

But the following does work:

composer require beberlei/DoctrineExtensions "~1.0"

Packagist and other services seems seem happy that 1.0.1 is the latest stable, but the require command isn't happy? Wondering if it's to do with the v tag prefix?

Found out why; this line returns false, because the array index of providerListing is lowercased while $name is not.

@Seldaek can you confirm that the providerListing array always has lowercase indexes, and if so, if a simple strtolower on $name would be a sufficient enough approach to tackle this issue?

Edit: another way to confirm this suspicion, running

composer require beberlei/doctrineextensions

works just fine.

composer package names are always lowercased. ComposerRepository->whatProvides() is fine if it expects receiving a lowercase name already (doing a lowercase each time would impact the performance of the solver, which calls this method many times with names being lowercase already). the require command should be fixed to lowercase the argument

I'll get right on that.
