Question about a custom resolver

[Mickael Jeanroy]

Hi,

I implemented a bower resolver that can be used to fetch dependencies on npm repository.

Currently, this npm resolver will be used for dependencies defined such as:

{

  "dependencies": {

    "npm+jquery": "~1.11.0"

  }

}

It works fine, except that this pattern cause some problems with some tools like bower-requirejs.

I would like to use a different solution:

{

  "dependencies": {

    "jquery": "npm://jquery#~1.11.0"

  }

}

Before implementing this, I just would like to hear bower maintainers opinion about that:

- Do you think it can cause some other problems ?

- Does it break bower specifications (see: https://github.com/bower/spec/blob/master/json.md) ?

Do not hesitate to comment on the github issue here: https://github.com/mjeanroy/bower-npm-resolver/issues/3

Thanks.
