Composer install/update failing

Question

I'm having an issue installing a package that I created....

https://packagist.org/packages/mardy-git/redirect

As far as I can tell, everything is working fine and I should be able to install it. However when I run the composer install or update I get the following error message...

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
 - The requested package mardy-git/redirect could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see  for more details.

And in my composer.json file I have:

{
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.4",
        "orno/di": "1.*",
        "orno/http": "1.*",
        "orno/mvc": "dev-master",
        "orno/loader": "1.*",
        "orno/db": "1.*",
        "filp/whoops": "1.0.*",
        "symfony/console": "2.3.*@dev",
        "zendframework/zendframework": "2.1.*",
        "form-manager/form-manager": "dev-master",
        "mardy-git/hmac": "0.1.*@dev",
        "mardy-git/redirect": "dev-master"
    }
}

This is a brand new package that I created this afternoon and I have not encountered problems like this before so I have no idea where to start looking for a solution. Everything else installs as expected if I remove the mardy-git/redirect row.

I have tried doing a composer self-update and that didn't make any difference.

Additional information:

composer show mardy-git/redirect --verbose

...resulted in the following response:

[InvalidArgumentException]

More Info, testing with just "mardy-git/redirect": "dev-master" in the composer file.

composer install -vvv

Does anyone have any ideas why this is doing this?

Answer 1

Packagist is having an outage. https://twitter.com/PrincipeBorodin/status/342655643603324929

About all you can do is try to contact @packagist or the contact us page on packagist.org

I'm seeing exactly the same thing on one of my projects. If you go to https://packagist.org/packages/base-reality/php-to-javascript you can see the latest version is 0.1.17

But the doing:

composer show base-reality/php-to-javascript

gives

versions : dev-master, * 0.1.16, 0.1.15, 0.1.14, 0.1.13, 0.1.12, 0.1.11, 0.1.10, 0.1.9, 0.1.8, 0.1.7, 0.1.6, 0.1.5, 0.1.4, 0.1.3, 0.1.2, 0.1.1, 0.1.0, 0.0.9, 0.0.8, 0.0.7, 0.0.6, 0.0.5, 0.0.4, 0.0.3, 0.0.2, 0.0.1

i.e. the 0.1.17 version isn't available through composer.

Update

It is now fixed now https://twitter.com/packagist/status/342710331547729920
