A metapackage to enforce a lowest version on installed Symfony components
=========================================================================

[](#a-metapackage-to-enforce-a-lowest-version-on-installed-symfony-components)

This package is abandoned.

Use `symfony/flex` instead and configure its `extra.symfony.require` setting to the version range you'd like to have.

For example, `composer config extra.symfony.require "~4.1.0"` restricts the versions of all Symfony components to `~4.1.0`.
