10 years ago Thanks for the PR. It did some research on how the main field is supposed to be used and compared with many other bower packages. I guess many of them use it in the wrong way. At https://github.com/bower/bower.json-spec they say the field should contain the main files needed, but preprocessor files (like Less) should not go in here. Hence your solution seems like a perfect fit to me.
I was attempting to use roboto-fontface-bower with gulp-bower-files, but it failed with the error 'The bower package jfm-roboto-fontface has no main file(s)'. After adding the main array to bower.json, it is able to find the required files and proceed without having to provide gulp-bower-files with the file locations in an overrides property. I assume that this update will also allow robot-fontface-bower to better work with other build systems like Brunch.
