Composer can't find assetic ~1.2

[epicserve]

I wanted to try this project and I followed the instructions in the readme.md. I added "barryvdh/laravel-assetic": "dev-master" to composer.json and then when I run composer update, I get the following error.

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for barryvdh/laravel-assetic dev-master -> satisfiable by barryvdh/laravel-assetic[dev-master].
    - barryvdh/laravel-assetic dev-master requires kriswallsmith/assetic ~1.2 -> no matching package found.

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 <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.

Read <http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

This version was bumped here: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-assetic/commit/86406e

But I can't find version 1.2 at https://github.com/kriswallsmith/assetic/

1.2 is the dev-master branch. Lower your stability, or require that package with @dev in your composer.

Thanks, Barry! You're awesome, as always.

I should have checked Packagist; https://packagist.org/packages/kriswallsmith/assetic makes it obvious.

Yeah it is kind of a bummer that I missed that first too. I developed some stuff but realized it worked only on the dev version. Don't know why it is taking so long to release 1.2..

It might be helpful to have instructions added to readme.md ... something like:

If you get an error when running composer update you might need to add or change your composer.json settings to the following:

{

    ...
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true

}
