Feature request: Ability to build custom Bower packages

[frankie-loves-jesus]

An Add as Bower checkbox, registering ones custom build at http://bower.io/ as ie. jquery-mobile-<version>-custom-<hex>. Then, if other people build the same combo, they can just reuse that one.

An Add as Rails Asset checkbox (https://rails-assets.org/) would also be nice.

Thanks!

@frankie-loves-jesus I'm sorry but there is no way we will publish this many packages. This would cause an immense amount of pollution of the bower and rails-assets package libraries.

Closing as wont fix.

I'm sorry but there is no way we will publish this many packages. This would cause an immense amount of pollution of the bower and rails-assets package libraries.

Not all package combos are likely to be generated. In addition, Bower will soon allow authors to delete their own packages (bower/bower#120). This way we could automatically purge older versions to keep things clean.

I don't see any other way as it's impossible to add the existing jQM Bower package and then cherrypick components via Sprockets (jquery-archive/jquery-mobile#7319 etc.). I reckon the majority of Rails devs would want to customize their jQM distributions.
