Composer setup of TYPO3 in exact version

Question

Is it possible to require the whole TYPO3 and all of its components in exact version without putting this exact version to all components ? Pls. see part of my composer.json file:

"require": {
  "typo3/cms-core": "10.4.20",    
  "typo3/cms-about": "^10.4",
  "typo3/cms-adminpanel": "^10.4",
  "typo3/cms-backend": "^10.4",
  "typo3/cms-belog": "^10.4",
  "typo3/cms-beuser": "^10.4",

In other words: Do I have write "10.4.20" to all of the components below the the first line where I require the TYPO3 10.4.20 core or is there another way to do that with one line of code ?

Answer 1

You need to use the same version number for all typo3/cms-* packages. With search & replace that should be quite easy.

Answer 2

Yes. It is possible. Just give it a try:

$ composer require typo3/cms-core:10.4.20 typo3/cms-about:^10.4
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update typo3/cms-core typo3/cms-about
