config paths overwritten after install

[brewster1134]

i need to customize the values for endpoint paths in my config, which works fine...

  paths: {
    "*.js": "*.js",
    "github:*": "vendored/github/*",
    "npm:*": "vendored/npm/*"
  },

But when I install another jspm package, it rewrite the values back to the defaults...

  paths: {
    "*.js": "*.js",
    "github:*": "jspm_packages/github/*",
    "npm:*": "jspm_packages/npm/*"
  },

is that expected behavior? and if so, is there a way to retain custom paths?

Try putting this:

"directories": {
    "packages": "vendored"
}

Under jspm in your package.json.

cool! so that works, but i did find a caveat. when i used the same name jspm_packages just with a different path, both package.json, and my config.js were reverted.

this did NOT work...

    "directories": {
      "packages": "vendored/jspm_components"
    },

this DID work...

    "directories": {
      "packages": "vendored/jspm"
    },

potential bug?

Yes jspm currently imposes this restriction. jspm 0.17 will be more lenient here.
