Symfony LTS Helper
==================

[](#symfony-lts-helper)

This package is intended for projects that want to stay on the **latest Symfony LTS version**.

It is especially useful when you do **not** use `symfony/flex`, but still want reliable dependency updates that keep your Symfony stack aligned with the current LTS line.

Why this package exists
-----------------------

[](#why-this-package-exists)

Keeping Symfony dependencies on the latest LTS can be harder without the tooling and recipes provided by Flex.

This package provides a practical way to express and enforce LTS-oriented dependency constraints so your project remains on the supported LTS track.

Dependabot workaround
---------------------

[](#dependabot-workaround)

A primary goal of this package is to act as a workaround for Dependabot auto-update workflows.

By using this package, Dependabot can resolve updates in a way that is compatible with a latest-LTS policy, reducing manual intervention in pull requests.

See this issue for more information: [dependabot/dependabot-core#4631](https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/4631)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add this package to your project dependencies, then run your regular Composer update process (locally, in CI, or through Dependabot PRs).

Composer commands:

```
composer require "gared/symfony-lts:^7.4" # for Symfony 7.4 LTS
composer require "gared/symfony-lts:^6.4" # for Symfony 6.4 LTS
composer update
```
