Solutions for installing libraries without a prebuilt file in bower
bower
Solution
Currently that is the best way. You can also keep it locally and reference it in 'dependencies' with full path. We're working on adding ability for author to publish components, like npm.
Problem
Some libraries don't have an already build JavaScript file in their Github repository because the authors of these libraries are against keeping build artifacts around (Sinon.JS for example). Is there a preferred way to deal with this using Bower? I know that I could fork the repository and register my fork with the prebuilt file with Bower. I'm just not sure if this is the best/correct way to handle this.
