Loading Handlebars using bower #655

Hi,

In my current project I download all 3rd part libraries and their dependencies using bower.

I noticed that for handlebars.js, the main library file does not get distribute as a part of a repo as per the guidelines :https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js#installing

To get around this I modified my bower.json to directly point to the s3 server instance form where I can download the main js file. My config looks like this

{
    "name": "RMn",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "dependencies": {
       ...
        "handlebars" : "http://builds.handlebarsjs.com.s3.amazonaws.com/handlebars-v1.1.2.js",
       ...        
    }
}

This works perfectly fine for me, but I have a couple of problems requesting the file this way

  1. The main handlebar.js file that gets downloaded has a weird name of index.js
  2. I am not sure if the s3 url is final or is subjected to change, in which case, I would need to edit my bower.json file every time.

Has anyone used bower to fetch handlerbars ? if so could you please share the bower.json config for the same.

Thanks,

Nikhil
