Root Package Versioning and 'child' packages

[jeffturcotte]

Currently, If you were to add a new major version to a root/framework package where your directory structure changed, your packages supporting that framework cannot specify the version of the package they support.

The best "workaround" is currently to override the framework name in your root package config for the new version. This means that no new root package repository would be needed and your child packages can simply add the new framework name to their map.

I think the solution above is probably adequate, but we should at least explore the idea of specifying project/framework versions in the child package. It's most likely possible to take advantage of the functionality provided by \Composer\Package\Version\VersionParser in supporting this.
