make humbug installable via composer require about humbug

[GrahamCampbell]

This isn't a bug. You need to set your "minimum-stability" to dev. This is just one reason why composer's require command is bad imo.

[padraic]

composer require --dev humbug/humbug:1.0.*@dev padraic/phpunit-extensions:~1.0@dev

I think you can swing it with the colon separator before the version? I actually did something similar today while cleaning up Mockery's travis scripts and build deps: https://github.com/padraic/mockery/blob/travis-cleanup/travis/install.sh

--dev just adds it to require-dev instead of require.

Edit: Since there's actually two dev versions, need to include both and then it should work.

[GrahamCampbell]

@padraic That's a really crap solution though.

[padraic]

@GrahamCampbell It's hideous

Will do if anyone really really needs this until stable releases of Humbug and phpunit-extensions (and the phar) are available. Mockery uses it solely for the Travis builds and I'm removing coveralls thereafter from composer.json.

@padraic try without --dev :

composer require humbug/humbug:1.0.*@dev padraic/phpunit-extensions:~1.0@dev

and it works. should readme be updated ?

[padraic]

I'd prefer people update their composer.json, do a global install, or have a self-updating phar. Humbug really doesn't even target composer.json - it's an infrequent use development tool. Perhaps I should simply get regular phars rolling?

[samsonasik]

+1 for phar it.

[padraic]

Phar builds have been implemented via box. I had to write my own self-update based loosely off composer's. The revised self update enforces TLS and checks phar signatures.

Closing since this is the preferred install option, other than a bleeding edge clone which is best for debugging/testing.

[samsonasik]

thank you @padraic ;)

@samsonasik Currently broken unfortunately. There is an odd ioctl error popping up. I just built a phar, tested (worked!), uploaded and self-updated somwhere. Error. Then I built again, tested, and it was there during testing. Not sure if it's box or something codewise. Will need to do some digging with build options...

Ordinary clone copy works perfectly every time.
