TYPO3 Core

Do you have some instruction / commands that show us how to play with? That could be taken over when documenting the usage of Composer with TYPO3.

Patch set 2 for branch master of project Packages/TYPO3.CMS has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at https://review.typo3.org/27423

1. Clone TYPO3 into some path and cherry-pick the latest patchset there:
   

   cd /home/foo/test
   git clone git://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git typo3_src
   git fetch git://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS refs/changes/23/27423/2 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
   

2. Put this into a composer.json file in another empty directory and run composer install:
   

   {
       "name": "foo/bar",
       "description": "Test for http://forge.typo3.org/issues/55770",
       "type": "project",
       "repositories": [
           {
               "type": "git",
               "url": "/home/foo/test/typo3_src" 
           }
       ],
       "minimum-stability": "dev",
       "require": {
           "typo3/cms": "~6.2" 
       }
   }
   

After the command was executed you should have a fresh installation with the TYPO3 master.

Note the "minimum-stability": "master": If you leave this out, the minimum stability would be stable and you'd reveive an error as there is no stable 6.2-version available (yet) - there is only a 6.2.x-dev version available because the composer.json contains an corresponding branch-alias.

In the last patch set, I pushed, I changed the type to "typo3cms-core" because the installer requires that to handle the installation.

I tried with the exact composer.json given as example except of line 8 which I changed for my own path but run into problems. <- it works fine, patch must be applied on master and not in a branch.

Besides "name" wouldn't be necessary in this example, right?

You have to cherry-pick the patch into the master - otherwise the branch-alias won't work (composer install -vvv will give you more information)

Ah! Thanks, it works fine when applying the patch against master and not on a branch.

Rather use this composer config, to verify the patch as the CMS Composer Installer is not yet on Packagist. More info http://forge.typo3.org/issues/55916#note-5

Update: CMS Composer Installers was put on Packagist. It is not required anymore.
