Composer.json requires an unpublished package

[mikelittle]

Describe the bug

When I try to require 10up/simple-local-avatars at he current version in my project, composer fails because SLA requires 10up/wp-compat-validation-tool which is not published on packagist.org.

Is that package really required? If so, can it be published on packagist.org, please.

Steps to Reproduce

1. composer require 10up/simple-local-avatars
2. composer update -W
3. See error "10up/simple-local-avatars 2.8.5 requires 10up/wp-compat-validation-tool dev-trunk -> could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name."

@mikelittle 10up/wp-compat-validation-tool helps with PHP compat checking in the plugin, so as far as I know yes it's needed. Would it suffice to have that dependency in https://wpackagist.org/ or do you ideally have that on https://packagist.org/ itself?

[mikelittle]

Yes, I guess could it could go on https://wpackagist.org, instead. Though, I thought wp.org stopped allowing library type plugins a while ago.

@jeffpaul any update on this? 😄

[jeffpaul]

@mikelittle @VlasicVojislav this should be done now that https://packagist.org/packages/10up/wp-compat-validation-tool is available, but please check and validate that things work as expected on your end.
