[enhancement] Add missing bower.json.

timgluz opened this issue · 6 comments

Hey, maintainer(s) of h5bp/mobile-boilerplate!

We at VersionEye are working hard to keep up the quality of the bower's registry.

We just finished our initial analysis of the quality of the Bower.io registry:

7530 - registered packages, 224 of them doesnt exists anymore;

We analysed 7306 existing packages and 1070 of them don't have bower.json on the master branch ( that's where a Bower client pulls a data ).

Sadly, your library h5bp/mobile-boilerplate is one of them.

Can you spare 15 minutes to help us to make Bower better?

Just add a new file bower.json and change attributes.

{
  "name": "h5bp/mobile-boilerplate",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "path/to/main.css",
  "description": "please add it",
  "license": "Eclipse",
  "ignore": [
    ".jshintrc",
    "**/*.txt"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "<dependency_name>": "<semantic_version>",
    "<dependency_name>": "<Local_folder>",
    "<dependency_name>": "<package>"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "<test-framework-name>": "<version>"
  }
}

Read more about bower.json on the official spefication and nodejs semver library has great examples of proper versioning.

NB! Please validate your bower.json with jsonlint before commiting your updates.

Thank you!

Mobile Boilerplate isn't a library and would therefore not be useful to download as a component with Bower or any other package management tool.

OK, good to know; It was registered on bower.io and it'll be nice that every bower project has proper bower.json file. Specially, when 3rd party is going to use library then this file helps to manage information about licenses and dependencies.

If you want to remove your library, then you should check out this documentation here: http://bower.io/#registering-packages

Any more input on this? I'd close this issue otherwise.

I've requested MBP to be removed from the Bower registry.
