Bower cache
-
Hello,
I am currently testing the bower feed with a connector and I noticed that when I install a bower package, it indeed contacts my private feed (through the .bowerrc file), but only gets the git repo url. Then it goes on to clone the git repo from its original source.
I can't seem to find any cache of the package itself, even though the option is enabled in the feed.
This is how I would've expected it to work:
I run the bower install command
Bower contacts ProGet private feed and asks for the package
ProGet asks the connector where the package is and downloads it to its local cache
ProGet returns a local git URL that the client can use to clone the packageIf anyone has any info about this, I'll be glad to hear!
Thanks
Product: ProGet
Version: 4.0.9 -
This is correct, bower packages are not packages but simply URLs that point to a git repo. The git repo is the "source" of the package so without continually syncing the entire git repo it wouldn't be very useful.
We may in the future add this (so no outside repos are requested similar to npm's and maven's indexing), but it's a ways off.
