Receving warnings when installing from Bower now:

➜  [REDACTED] git:([REDACTED]) bower install --save raven-js
...
bower raven-js#*            deprecated Package raven-js is using the deprecated component.json
...

I'm quite happy to submit a pull-request if it won't be done otherwise, just need to know whether to move the component.json file or duplicate it? Due to people using TJ's 'component' module system.

I honestly know nothing about bower or component, so I'd be looking for the best recommendation here.

[bencevans]

I'd recommend duplicating as that can't hurt anyone using the component.json currently.

[mattrobenolt]

Is it literally identical in format? So does that mean I have to bump versions in both of them, etc. Can you just use a symlink if they're identical?

[mattrobenolt]

All around, that seems kinda silly. What do other people do in more popular libraries? I'm sure there's a recommended way of doing this.

jQuery seem to have just gone with the bower.json file without a component.json ... https://github.com/jquery/jquery

[mattrobenolt]

That's fair. Wanna submit a PR? I'd be open to any suggestions/recommendations for contents within the bower.json file as well.
