Platform packages support

[ClemensSahs]

Will it be possible to add the Platform packages to the dependencies manger?

{
    "name" : "myProject",
    "require": {
        "php" : ">=5.4.0",
        "lib-curl" : "~xxxx"
    }
}

best regards

I love this idea and also thought about adding it. However, we need something virtually as a search reference. Like for all packages we query packagist. The easiest way would be to maintain a public satis repository which holds all the records. This would also imply, that it would itself update, when new (php, library) versions are released. If there is something to query, I'd be happy to use it. Maybe I'm thinking to complicated and there is a too obvious simple solution I don't see?

Help is appreciated - thanks.

currently I don't have a overview from that code, I only found the deprecated constant defined, but not a url like that. And not enough time to scan the full code, sorry.
If you give a reference to the currently search line I will be possible I can give you some help.

It is less about the code that searches for it, rather than the source which can be queried, that is needed to make that functionality possible.

PS. Search is handled in pulse00/Composer-Java-Bindings
