[pkg-php-pear] Bug#765899: Composer: Please, support OR-ed versions

[David Prévot]

Package: pkg-php-tools
Version: 1.25
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

While packaging php-guzzlehttp-message-integrity-subscriber (as needed
by aws-sdk-for-php 3), the following warning was displayed:

OR-ed versions are not supported require:guzzlehttp/guzzle (~4.0|~5.0)

While the current default is safe in my use case (no version at all is
introduced in the Debian control file), it would have been nice if this
	(>= 4.0, < 5~~) or (>= 5.0, < 6~~)
would have been translated as
	(>= 4.0, < 6~~)
in such case (i.e., when the OR-ed versions can be summed up).

Regards

David

P.-S.: again pilling up a request, will hopefully be able to provide a
patch for it when I’ll have some time to dive in the code.
