php min requirement

[clxmstaab]

fink's composer.json states a php-min requirement of 7.2

fink/composer.json

Line 16 in 31e5280

"php": "^7.2",

its still not possible to install it on php 7.2 because it depends on a lib which requires at least 7.3:

$ composer require dantleech/fink --dev

  Problem 1
    - phpactor/container 1.3.3 requires php ^7.3 -> your PHP version (7.4.5) overridden by "config.platform.php" version (7.2.30) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - phpactor/container 1.3.3 requires php ^7.3 -> your PHP version (7.4.5) overridden by "config.platform.php" version (7.2.30) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - phpactor/container 1.3.3 requires php ^7.3 -> your PHP version (7.4.5) overridden by "config.platform.php" version (7.2.30) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - Installation request for phpactor/container (locked at 1.3.3) -> satisfiable by phpactor/container[1.3.3].

$ composer why phpactor/container
dantleech/fink              0.10.1  requires  phpactor/container (^1.0)
phpactor/console-extension  0.1.5   requires  phpactor/container (^1.0)

is this intentional?

[dantleech]

it should work -- 1.3.3 requires 7.3, but 1.2.xhas no such restriction. Try deleting your lock file?

[clxmstaab]

just deleted the composer.lock but it runs into the same error

I can reproduce with the following composer.json

{
    "config" : {
        "optimize-autoloader" : true,
        "platform" : {
            "php": "7.2.20"
        }
    },
    "require-dev": {
    }
}

and

$ composer require dantleech/fink --dev

Very odd, your example works for me with both composer 1 and 2:

$ composer require dantleech/fink --dev                                                                                                ✘ 130
