Bower package: purge unnecessary files

[danielfttorres]

This must solved #1557

I'm not in favor of this. When you use npm to install less.js it's a good chance you don't need those things, but if you're installing less.js via bower there is a chance you will. In other words, the only time I personally use bower to install less.js is when I want to mess around with some of those things you're excluding lol.

as I think about it though, I sincerely doubt that I represent the avg. Joe on this point... don't weigh my comment into this, I want to defer judgement to someone else on this

I don't use bower, happy to with whatever the norm is there.

Do think it a bit odd that it won't be cleaned up without this.

But if bower is only for browserside and npm for node it makes sense to exclude non browser files.

I use bower with yeoman.io (it's very cool). I don't use only bower. And I have LESS installed with node, it's important. But bower is only for browserside and is necessary the files are separated (node ≠ bower).

You can see the good 'bower.json' file of the jQuery repository: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/bower.json

okay, will put it in and see if anyone shouts.. we can always reverse all or part of it.

Seems good to me. Bower should be serving up "browser distributions", while NPM is free to serve entire repositories.

[danielfttorres]

Yes, sounds good. Purge unnecessary files is interesting.
And it's working, see:

But there are some further improvements to be made, and I'm working in this.

Sorry, there was an error installing the version 1.5 with bower, and I solved here #1585
