I've open also opened issue 7 in sirkirby/twitter-bootstrap-nuget
I looked through the twtitter.bootstrap.mvc package and the bundling in .mvc4 is opinionated as well. I will have a conversation with him and see what if anything he would like to do with it. Based on how I want the bundling to work and bring in the additions of the validation shim.

The package naming used by sirkirby's package
twitter.bootstrap.mvc
and erichexter's packagetwitter.bootstrap.mvc4
is confusing.I think it would be in everybody's best interest to get this sorted out quickly. The sooner, the better. considering both packages are getting some traction (5k+ downloads in several months).
Chris Kirby (a.k.a. sirkirby at nuget & github maintains the
twitter.bootstrap
nuget package (80k+ downloads), on which erichexter'stwitter.bootstrap.mvc4
has a dependency. sirkirby also maintains thetwitter.bootstrap.mvc
package, which adds bundling and minification fortwitter.bootstrap
assets to mvc4 projects.I'm developing an MVC4 app and want to add Twitter Bootstrap. Do I ...
PM> Install-Package
twitter.bootstrap.mvc4
OR
PM> Install-Package
twitter.bootstrap.mvc
?From what I understand from both projects, by inspecting sirkirby's code and readme and erichexter's code and documentation, the projects only have small overlap: the bundling and minification, and the targeting of mvc4. erichexter's project adds more functionality and is more opinionated. Another difference is the dependencies both projects take.
I think both package meet a need: sirkirby's package targets a developer that only wants to quickly add
twitter.bootstrap
assets whereas erichexter's package targets a developer that wants more.I hope you guys don't mind raising this issue; some might consider it nitpicking but I don't and I hope the effort I put in writing this issue reflects this. I can think of many ways to resolve this, but it's probably best to leave it up to eric and chris.
