possibly incorrect sem-ver in bower.json

[xstherrera1987]

bower.json specifies the jquery dependency as "jquery": "~1.7.0" which i believe means >= 1.7.0 && < 1.8. I don't know whether this is accurate but I think you may have meant simply >1.7.0. I noticed while installing via bower where it tries to resolve the dependency with jquery 1.7.2.

command and output:

$ bower install --save jquery.finger
bower jquery.finger#*       not-cached git://github.com/ngryman/jquery.finger.git#*
bower jquery.finger#*          resolve git://github.com/ngryman/jquery.finger.git#*
bower jquery.finger#*         download     https://github.com/ngryman/jquery.finger/archive/v0.1.3.tar.gz
bower jquery.finger#*          extract archive.tar.gz
bower jquery.finger#*         mismatch Version declared in the json (0.1.2) is different than the resolved one (0.1.3)
bower jquery.finger#*         resolved git://github.com/ngryman/jquery.finger.git#0.1.3
bower jquery#~1.7.0         not-cached git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#~1.7.0
bower jquery#~1.7.0            resolve git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#~1.7.0
bower jquery#~1.7.0           download https://github.com/jquery/jquery/archive/1.7.2.tar.gz
bower jquery#~1.7.0            extract archive.tar.gz
bower jquery#~1.7.0       invalid-meta jquery is missing "ignore" entry in bower.json
bower jquery#~1.7.0           resolved git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#1.7.2
bower jquery#~2.1.4             cached git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#2.1.4
bower jquery#~2.1.4           validate 2.1.4 against git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#~2.1.4

Unable to find a suitable version for jquery, please choose one:
    1) jquery#~1.7.0 which resolved to 1.7.2 and is required by jquery.finger#0.1.3
    2) jquery#>1.8.* which resolved to 2.1.4 and is required by jquery-ujs#1.1.0
    3) jquery#~2.1.4 which resolved to 2.1.4 and is required by <my-app-name>

Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json
