Acetone package Laravel 5.1 installation - laravel

Question

I need to use some package with Laravel 5.1, for clearing cache on varnish.
I have tried with acetone but seems like I can't use it with the 5.1 version, because it throws the below listed error. The package is for Laravel 5 version: http://packalyst.com/packages/package/ademes/acetone
But the error says that the package requires illuminate/support 4.x:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Is there any solution to it or some other package to use to do the above mentioned task ?

Answer 1

It looks like JDare/Acetone is a Laravel 4 package and you are using Laravel 5:
Laravel4 package for purging & banning cached items in Varnish
This package requires illuminate/support 4.x but Laravel 5 is using illuminate/support 5.x which makes it incompatible.
But there exists a fork of Acetone for Laravel 5 which is lhj1982/Acetone. This is not available via Packagist so you would have to overide the package with the fork in your composer.json:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "package",
"package": {
"name": "jdare/acetone",
"version": "dev-master",
"source": {
"url": "https://github.com/lhj1982/Acetone.git",
"type": "git",
"reference": "master"
},
"autoload": {
"classmap": [""]
}
}
}
],
Then you can require the package as usual.
"require": {
"jdare/acetone": "dev-master"
},
Be aware that this is not an official fork and I did not test this fork, but it might work. Another way would be forking the original project yourself and add Laravel 5 support for it.
After composer update you can run composer show jdare/acetone -v to verify that the fork was pulled.
You should see something similar:
$ composer show jdare/acetone -v
name : jdare/acetone
descrip. :
keywords :
versions : * dev-master
type : library
source : [git] https://github.com/lhj1982/Acetone.git master
dist : []
names : jdare/acetone
autoload
classmap
