Master: Patches are not being installed from dependencies

[mxr576]

Composer 2 support was added to master with #309. I am trying to use that on our projects but I have just noticed that patches from dependencies are not being installed, even if "enable-patching": true, is set.

The issue seems unrelated to #309, it looks like that was broken even before that.

Ahh, I see... Thanks for the info. I understand the security implications of this, but we had a metapackage that installed necessary patches on projects that we worked on. Now, with the new PatchResolver approach, we have to write our own plugin to make this work again.

That's true. I wouldn't recommend using master for anything important right now though. Use 1.x (which still includes this functionality).

Also, I'm planning on writing the plugin that does this as part of the 2.x release series, but it's just not important to the core functionality of this plugin right now.
