Don't work require in Copmposer - composer-php

Question

I have composer.json on project:
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "git#git.test.ua:bmp/composer.git"
}
],
"require": {
"pack/composer": "dev-master"
},
"minimum-stability": "dev"
}
git#git.test.ua:bmp/composer.git - it's my repo, that containe next composer.json file:
{
"name": "pack/composer",
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "git#git.test.ua:components/curl.git"
}
],
"minimum-stability": "dev",
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4.0",
"pack/curl": "dev-master"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"pack\\composer\\": ""
}
}
}
git#git.test.ua:components/curl.git - also my repo, that containe next composer.json file:
{
"name": "pack/curl",
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"pack\\curl\\": ""
}
},
"minimum-stability": "dev"
}
When I try to do composer install on my project, I receive next error:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Installation request for pack/composer dev-master -> satisfiable by pack/composer[dev-master].
- pack/composer dev-master requires pack/curl dev-master -> no matching package found.
Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.
I already add param:
"minimum-stability": "dev"
If I remove require section from the seckond composer.json file the no error any more.
"pack/curl": "dev-master"
How fix it, I need this require?
Update:
{
"repositories": [
{"type": "vcs", "url": "https://git.test.ua/components/composer.git"},
{"type": "vcs", "url": "https://git.test.ua/components/curl.git"}
],
"require-dev": {
"pack/composer": "dev-master"
},
"minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Answer 1

Composer does not browse repositories recursively, i.e. ALL repositories that may contain software have to be mentioned in the root composer.json file.
You don't mention the repository of the pack/curl package there, so Composer cannot find this package.
I assume that "pack" is the vendor name you added partially in your question, because the error message still mentions "shkarbatov" as the vendor name.
Best way to avoid having to add hundreds of personal repositories everywhere is to have a packagist-like Composer repo that is mentioned everywhere and contains the metadata of all code repositories. Have a look at Satis.
Update:
Now after seeing your composer.lock file, the situation is clear: You are NOT using require to add your packages, but require-dev. This is for development dependencies (like adding PHPUnit or stuff needed to develop the package) of the root package only - any dev dependencies of packages added to the root package are NOT installed.
Change the dependencies of packages you need for production use to require all levels!
