Sentry-php: Require php-http/async-client-implementation dependency repository

[bojanpejic]

I was trying to get latest Sentry version 2.0 with Composer, before doing it I've actually removed old Sentry version 1.10.

When I've run composer require sentry/sentry:2.0 I've got the following output:

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for sentry/sentry 2.0 -> satisfiable by sentry/sentry[2.0.0].
    - sentry/sentry 2.0.0 requires php-http/async-client-implementation ^1.0 -> 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://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.
 - It's a private package and you forgot to add a custom repository to find it

Read <https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

Ok, I've checked and the requested dependency php-http/async-client-implementation doesn't seam to exist. I'm not sure what happened with it, but it isn't listed between other repositories on php-http.

Any suggestions what might went wrong?

Hey @bojanpejic, thanks for jumping in with 2.0!

I will not explain here too since I'll probably do a bad job, please check out the install instructions in the readme that explains what that package is and how you can install it if you want.

tl;dr: use composer require sentry/sdk:2.0 instead of requiring sentry/sentry 👍

The tl:dr would be that it's not an actual package but a virtual one (package A: "I need something that implements package XY", package B: "I provide an implementation for package XY"). For example the HTTPlug cURL client provides it. https://github.com/php-http/curl-client/blob/master/composer.json#L45-L48

Right, I've totally missed the change of package name and updated documentation, my bad. @CharlotteDunois thanks for the explanation for virtual package!
