bower.json "main" should contain everything in dist/

[kflorence]

Right now it only has _bourbon.scss which is pretty useless since everything that file imports is not included.

[plapier]

Can you submit a PR or recommend what the bower.json file should look like?

[kflorence]

@plapier Sure, it should look very similar to this: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/bower.json

I'd be happy to submit a pull request for it, I just wasn't sure if the bower.json file was generated automatically or not.

[plapier]

The bower.json file in bootstrap only contains one .scss file. The rest are font and js files. I would have expected it to include everything in: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/tree/master/vendor/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap

@kflorence I just ran the following command and everything seems to get downloaded properly for bower

bower install bourbon#3.2.1

As you can see, the entire /dist/ directory is there.

@plapier Heh, poor timing on my part it seems: twbs/bootstrap-sass@83584d7

To clarify, the bower.json file as it is now works fine for installing directly via bower install -- however, it isn't compatible with a lot of bower installation tools (which is what the "main" property is primarily used by).

It looks like there is some internal debate going on around the proper standard usage of the "main" property which you can read about here twbs/bootstrap-sass#586 (comment) and here bower/bower#935

In short, what is in the bower.json file now will work nicely for some tools, but break others. I think this issue should remain open until a solid answer from the Bower team is given, although no change on your part is necessary now.

Sorry for the confusion.

Closing this, as it seems to be working for everyone.
