Notes about the testcases
=========================
composer supports all kinds of dependency specifiers and can refer to packages
coming from all kinds of sources.
For validation purposes, I could implement test cases from scratch, but this is
a lot of work. Instead, I took existing packages as test cases.
The test scenarios are captured in the `composer.json` file (that is translated
by `composer2nix` into a set of Nix expressions).
This code snippet explains the purpose of each test package:
```javascript
{
"require": {
// A common package and exact dependency specifier
"phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor": "2.9.1",
// A common package and version range dependency specifier
"phpunit/phpunit": "9.0.x",
// A reference to a Git repository using the master branch
"svanderburg/php-sblayout": "dev-master",
// A reference to a generic VCS repository using the a Git master branch
"svanderburg/php-sbbiblio": "dev-master"
}
}
```
