symfony/console:^6.2 dependency incompatible with LTS versions of Adobe Commerce

[Evers]

Hi @TomasVotruba,

I see that you have a dependency on symfony/console:^6.2 and I am wondering if there is any specific reason that only this version is required. Adobe Commerce requires symfony/console:~4.4.0 in some LTS versions and symfony/console: ^5.4 in the most recent. It would be great if symplify/monorepo-builder could work with symfony/console 4 and 5 as well. What is needed to test whether the program works with symfony/console 4 and 5 and can we work towards including them in the dependencies?

As an alternative, we could think about also publishing a monorepo-builder-dist version of the package, similar to https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun2-dist which is a phar version of https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun2. This would bundle all dependencies of the monorepo-builer into the phar and remove the dependency conflicts.

What are your thoughts?

Hi,

this package is downgraded to PHP 7.2 and scoped from all the dependencies, so no conflict is possible.

See: https://packagist.org/packages/symplify/monorepo-builder#11.2.2.72

Ah so this only happens when I require dev-main and should never happen when a stable version is required, correct?

[Tomas Votruba]

Exactly :) the dev-main should never be used here.
