    Hi all

    I think it's a must that the MetaBox-AIO PHP Composer package allows to include the desired package version, as otherwise it forces all CI deployments to use the very latest version and can induce to breaking sites.

    What is preventing this from working? The AIO package can already be directly downloaded with versioning.

    Thanks!

    Hello Juan,

    If you use Composer to get the premium version, there isn't a way to use a specific version, you always use the latest version. It is noted in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/integration/#using-composer
    The version of premium extensions specified in composer.json must be dev-master. We don't support version constraints for premium extensions yet. You always use the latest version.

    Hi Peter

    Yes, I know that the documentation says that, but that makes no sense, I think you should put an effort in make it possible. There is a risk that using the latest version breaks things in automated environments, and that increases the cost of maintenance. This is B2B we're talking about.

    The documentation is saying "yet" since the first time I used MetaBox, at least one year ago, is there any plan to implement it?

    Meanwhile I guess the only solution is to keep it in a private repo and disabling installing from your repo directly.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Currently, there isn't a plan to implement it. I will inform the development team to consider supporting downloading specific versions from Composer.
