Hi Nicolas, and pkg-php-tools maintainers, Thanks for your quick reply, and apologies not to have followed up on this issue sooner.

Do you have any pointer to that? I’m still quite lost in composer documentation. The only information I’ve been able to grab so far is from the source: https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/HEAD/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/Rule.php#L215 https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/HEAD/src/Composer/Repository/PlatformRepository.php#L74 https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/HEAD/src/Composer/Repository/PlatformRepository.php#L144 It looks like ext- is for PHP extension while lib is for PHP library. > Although this looks more "semantic" to me, I would be ok to replace it with > ext-pcre if this is equivalent and fixes your bug. > Or you could fix the your tool :) I’m all for fixing our tools if they do not comply with any acceptable syntax, but I’d welcome pointers to such definition. Mathieu, since you introduced Composer support in pkg-php-tools, did you manage to get any “standard” definition, do you have any opinion on the current issue? Regards David
