Use current version instead of "latest" in generated bower.json?

Open tsujigiri opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

When having a Bowerfile, I was wondering if it would be better to generate the bower.json with each package's current version instead of "latest". This would be closer to what bundler does and prevent surprises when a package gets updated. Currently, the options to work around this, are checking-in the whole bower_components directory into git, or manually keeping track of each package's version in the Bowerfile itself, which is both suboptimal.

Agreed - this would be a great addition. Similar to Gemfile.lock

I like to see which packages were updated so I know what to look out for
