Can bower install three.js as well?

[iandanforth]

Given the "zero hassle" target. Can "bower install threestrap" be made to resolve the three.js dep?

[unconed]

Make a pull request please

[iandanforth]

Done. For some reason bower takes a long time to install threejs. And according to the spec (https://github.com/bower/bower.json-spec) the version for each dep is currently ignored. Ideally this would be updated to a specific release which doesn't just pull master from mrdoob.

Ah, isn't this going to slow down the install for everyone then?

@unconed Yes I met the same problem.

Actually in bower.json of three.js it ignores most of files and directories, but bower install still have to clone the whole git repo and that's why it takes such a long time. After a long struggling installation you can only find these in bower_components

@iandanforth I pack the files listed in bower_components/three.js/ (see the picture) in a tar.gz file, and use it as an offline installation source for threejs. This will save plenty of time.
