Update jspm configuration

[guybedford]

This updates to the latest jspm configuration options.

The files property is necessary to override the files property in the base package.json which caused the CSS folder to be ignored.

[cvrebert]

The base files already contains dist (of which css is a subdirectory), so I'm unclear why a jspm override is necessary. Plus, there's no top-level css directory in Bootstrap, so the override also seems wrong to me in that respect.
Or am I missing something?

@cvrebert In the distribution there is a top level css folder. For example, if you download this file, you will see that there is a css folder in there.

Due to this misconfiguration, if you install bootstrap using jspm, the folder is empty.

[cvrebert]

Ah. Okay, gotcha.

👍 thanks!

[guybedford]

Amazing, thank you.

I would like to be able to consume the less source as a dependency via JSPM, rather than only the compiled CSS. Restricting the JSPM config to the dist directory prevents this. Could we expand the config to include the less source?

@jczerwinski That issue #12906 seems to be closed. Honestly, I'm kind of siding with the BS developers right now because importing the .less files individually would be very difficult as you would need to know the dependencies between them. For example, wells.less depends on variables.less and who knows what in the future. It would be very brittle over time to have that sort of dependency chain. You might as well just point at the compiled CSS.

@lookfirst It's somewhat more due to a jspm-side limitation, AIUI: #16118.

@cvrebert Thanks! It just sounds like a recipe for disaster. =(

[jczerwinski]

Yeah, makes sense. I've moved on. Thanks!
