Dbal: v2.5.13 includes annotations v1.* which breaks PHP 5 compatibility

[gwagroves]

doctrine/dbal 2.5.13 composer json

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.3.2",
    "doctrine/common": ">=2.4,<2.8-dev"
 }

resolves to doctrine/common 2.7.3.

doctrine/common 2.7.3 composer json

"require": {
  "php": "~5.6|~7.0",
  "doctrine/inflector": "1.*",
  "doctrine/cache": "1.*",
  "doctrine/collections": "1.*",
  "doctrine/lexer": "1.*",
  "doctrine/annotations": "1.*"
}

resolves to doctrine/annotations 1.5.0

doctrine/annotations 1.5.0 requires PHP 7:

This release increments the minimum supported PHP version to 7.1.0

@Ocramius Yes, I see the link. It states that dbal 2.6.0 drops support for PHP 5.

But dbal 2.5.13 has also inadvertently dropped support for PHP 5.6, because doctrine/[email protected] requires doctrine/[email protected], which requires PHP 7.1.

@gwagroves no, the composer SAT system will simply exclude those dependencies when running composer update, since they aren't compatible with your environment.

[gwagroves]

Ah, OK. Good to know. Unfortunately we have to commit the dependencies, and composer update was run under 7.1, but the server runs 5.6.

Thanks!

[Ocramius]

@gwagroves eh, never ever ever ever ever do that: please run updates in a production-alike environment.
