Using Bower to install this package, the dist filenames change per version? #63

Closed klebba closed 10 years ago

You should remove the rev from the filenames in the dist directory, so your user's build scripts can rely on a consistent file name. See https://github.com/angular/bower-angular

Thanks for a great utility!

Yes, this is standard.

This question has been raised before. See #40.

Quick answer: Use src/angular-cache.js instead, which is listed in bower.json as "main": "./src/angular-cache.js", The dist/ folder is for those who don't use Bower. Relying on src/angular-cache.js should solve your inconsistent filename problem!

@klebba And thanks for the compliment!

I'm actually interested in using your minified version with Bower, so I want the dist. In my experience the version number is not present in any Bower package I have installed. For what it's worth, this includes angular, bootstrap, lodash, moment, jquery, select2, and ace. If I had to increment the version number for each of these libraries in my Gruntfile build step as they evolved it would be very tedious to keep up!

Understandable, and I agree. I assumed src/angular-cache.js would satisfy everyone who uses Bower–there isn't anything special about how I minified the file.
