Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

I have some end-projects with embedded private PHP packages in a project.

These private packages are declared in composer.json file in repositories section. https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#path.

The issue can be seen when using * or ? in parse using glob patterns of PHP. https://php.net/glob

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

When a * or ? is detected in url field, special care is needed to expand directories and add individual repositories.

Sadly, I am no expert in typescript and can not help with this. But I can help with the PHP way of doing

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No
