Mithril.js: [BUG] - Bower Mithril package is broken

[marioidival]

In bower install, try it by:
git ls-remote --tags --heads https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.git
Instead:
git ls-remote --tags --heads https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js.git

Could you give us more context here? Bower is not supported any longer (not since v1.0).

[tivac]

https://github.com/lhorie/mithril was never the code repo, just the generated site (https://mithril.js.org). The repo was deleted today since the site is now hosted from this repo's gh-pages branch.

@marioidival: Update bower.json to reference the older tag instead, i.e.:
"mithril": "https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js.git#~0.2.0",

[marioidival]

@jouni-kantola I do this, but it's better to someone fix this in bower?

[sergey-dev]

The official package in bower is named differently:

$ bower search mithril
    mithril https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.git
    mithril-n https://github.com/tomekwi/n.git
    mithril-fx https://github.com/ludbek/mithril-fx.git
    mithril-di https://github.com/ilsenem/mithril-di.git
    mithril-ui https://github.com/ludbek/mithril-fx.git
    mithriljs https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js.git
    mithril-solr https://github.com/PebbleRoad/mithril-solr.git
...

One need to use mithriljs instead of mithril, then it will point to
mithriljs https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js.git

Anyone know if it's possible to check who is the maintainer of a certain bower package? Couldn't immediately find any info on the matter online, but we could check if that user would care to unregister the website repo from bower. It's probably @lhorie anyways. I can't imagine anyone would be interested in downloading the mithril website repo in their project, so removing or pointing that to the actual project repo probably doesn't break anything of consequence out in the wild.

[sergey-dev]

@orbitbot not sure what kind of information you want to get from public repository.. Bower package is just a record in the registry, the rest of information is taken from the repository itself.
You may want to check this link: https://bower.io/search/ or to run from your console
bower info mithriljs

[tivac]

looks like @lhorie owns mithril in bower.

[orbitbot]

OK, good. I recall being on that page at some point in history ;) OK, so I guess we should just have @lhorie unpublish mithril once he gets around to it.

[valeviolin]

Is there a plan to fix this?

[ArthurClemens]

Bower is deprecated.

[isiahmeadows]

Given that Bower has been officially deprecated up to and including npm deprecate, it's unlikely. Not saying impossible, but it'd require someone consulting with @lhorie directly to publish it themselves and keep it updated.

@lhorie @tivac @pygy Thoughts on the current state of this bug now? (Note that in the linked comment, the maintainer wasn't killing it for good, just deprecating it in favor of better alternatives and due to lack of time.)

[tivac]

I vote to close this issue.

[pygy]

Agreed...
