Documetation request: npm dependency conflicts not resolvable. #124

Closed jmonkfish closed 1 year ago

jmonkfish commented 4 years ago

When an npm package has dependency conflicts with min/max version requirements (such as with npm-asset/pngquant-bin), composer is not able to resolve the problem. npm is able to resolve the issue during install, and asset-packagist.org marks the package as "Ready to use!"

This is not documented with asset-packagist except within a few closed issues. It would likely benefit others looking to use asset-packagist.org to know that currently composer is not able to resolve dependency version conflicts for npm packages.

Sounds reasonable. Can you please make PR?

jmonkfish commented 4 years ago

Okay, working on the documetation.

Should we file a separate issue for the "Ready to use!" being displayed even for packages which are not usable (npm-asset/pngquant-bin)?

hiqsol commented 4 years ago

Umm... I thought the package is not generally unusable and cannot be used with some other packages. Now I've tried and I see that the package npm-asset/pngquant-bin is completely uninstallable.

So. We can point it in documentation. And basically that's all that can be done for now.
