Feature #65866
Updated by Peter Niederlag about 9 years ago
Composer itself suggests to *not* set the version property inside composer.json as it can be calculated from vcs branch/tag properties.
Currently this causes troubles inside of 6.2.x as the version from ext_emconf.php is ignored if a composer.json is present.
The concrete requirements to trigger the bug need more information, as it might not happen in all cases.
First requirement of course is a real composer based installation (composer install in root directory)
Also it might happen only when extension are analyzed by a dependency.
Unfortunatly while preparing the patch I forgot to be more precise on the setup to trigger it.
