Use "Require inline alias" (dev-linked as {original-version})

[timkelty]

composer link can fail because sub-dependencies that are are not satisfied once the version is changed to dev-linked.

What if composer link included a Require inline alias, so it was still treated like the original version?

e.g. here, the version would instead be somthing like dev-linked as x.x.x, where x.x.x is the original locked version.

Hey,

That sounds like a good/correct solution, and I think on first sight this would be an easy improvement to implement.
Also creating a Integration test for these situation should be trival.

This would resolve the issue #77 in a better and neater way then that I had first in mind!

Thanks for this suggestion 👍🏻

Do you think you'll get to it, or would you prefer a PR?

[SanderSander]

I could do it this sunday got some time this weekend, but if you want, you're free to give it a go and make a PR

Love it, thanks! ❤️

FWIW, after a period of trying to just use path repositories and/or docker mounts for this kind of development, I was very glad to see this project in active development.

Great work!

Cool, I will take a look at it as soon as possible 😄(somewhere in this week)

Nice! Im still running 0.4.1 and it works great so not blocking me. But that version misses for example unlink-all that is very handy so mostly that I miss for the moment. So would be nice to get a official version that works for all cases. Have a nice day.

Checking in – any progress?

[SanderSander]

@timkelty I fixed a quite some problems on the master branch, I need still some testing but it seems to work better then the current latest version.
