Request to make old mincss versions available

kmsquire opened this issue · 0 comments

Adobe has a repo, cssfilterlab, which is a bit old, but still useful to run. It's unlikely they'll be updating it any time soon.

The project still uses grunt 0.3, and still depends on an old version grunt-contrib, when it seemingly didn't contain the kitchen sink, but when it did contain grunt-contrib-mincss.

Unfortunately, after the rename to grunt-contrib-cssmin

  • the version history is stored entirely in grunt-contrib-cssmin, but without tagged versions
  • a new grunt-contrib-mincss repo was created which simply says that the project was renamed

Upgrading to a more modern grunt was more work than I was willing to put in, but I was able to get the project to run by

  1. updating the grunt-contrib dependency to 0.3.0
  2. cloning out grunt-contrib-cssmin under node-modules, and checking out a commit which corresponds to grunt-contrib-mincss: 0.3.0
  3. symlinking grunt-contrib-cssmin to grunt-contrib-mincss (probably could have just renamed it)

It would be nice not to have to do this when an old project depends on an old version of grunt-contrib, so... is there willingness to make those old versions available in the grunt-contrib-mincss repo (and publish them)?
