Composer local packages -

i can't composer work local packages.

package a:

{   "name": "package/a",   "repositories": [     {       "type": "vcs",       "url": "../b"     }   ],   "require": {     "package/b": "dev-master"   } } 

package b:

{   "name": "package/b",   "repositories": [     {       "type": "vcs",       "url": "../c"     }   ],   "require": {     "package/c": "dev-master"   } } 

package c:

{   "name": "package/c", } 

now installing package b works fine , resolves package c properly. installing package fails because can not resolve package c package b, dependency of package a.

i couldn't find @google, looks composer can't handle kind of complexity in local packages. i'm wrong.

here small illustration better understanding of problem.

composer doesn't load local repos recursively.

1) might declare dependencies b , c in a. have redefine dependencies in composer.json. here, add more require , repository defines composer.json of a.

2) or might setup local satis proxy, serves private packages.

private or public publishing of dependencies resolve situation.
