I'm currently creating an application using silex 1.3.

I want to use the dflydev doctrine orm service provider.

For this service provider pimple >=2.1 is needed - but my silex version comes with pimple 1.x.

I've tried to install a newer version via composer, but this results in an error:

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

Problem 1 - silex/silex v1.3.0 requires pimple/pimple ~1.0 -> no matching package foun d. - silex/silex v1.3.0 requires pimple/pimple ~1.0 -> no matching package foun d. - silex/silex v1.3.0 requires pimple/pimple ~1.0 -> no matching package foun d. - Installation request for silex/silex v1.3.0 -> satisfiable by silex/silex[ v1.3.0].

So my question is: how Can I update this pimple version?

EDIT: I've just seen that there's an older release of the dflydev-doctrine-orm-service-provider, which uses pimple 1.x, so I guess I have to use this version. Nevertheless, I would be intereseted if an update is (theoretical) possible.

Considering how closely Silex is coupled to Pimple, it is not possible to upgrade Pimple without breaking a lot of things in Silex. That said, the upgrade has been a work in progress for a while.

There are several closed issues to update Silex to the new version. Here's one, though there does not seem to be any roadmap for the upgrade.

The master branch of Silex has upgraded to Pimple 3.0. I would watch that branch for any progress. However, as I'm sure you noticed, Pimple 2-3 is not backwards compatible with Pimple 1.0, so if you do upgrade at some point, your other 3rd party service providers will not work until they are updated as well.
