README

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

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

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
