Bower: Installing legacy bootstrap (2.3.2) with bower

bower, twitter-bootstrap

Solution

The solution I ended up with: forked bootstrap repo, cleaned up(other branches etc..) `git reset --hard` to the v2.3.2 tag - checked it into another branch and pushe it to github. more cleanup (removing the old master branch, higher tags). run the build processes and setup an "updated" dist folder for the v2.3.2 tag. changed the bower package and published it as bootstrap2.3.2 package.

Now I (and everyone else) can install with bower install from this repo. The results are here if someone want to use it.

Problem

I have an open source webapp using bootstrap 2.3.2 and which Currently I can't move to bootstrap 3 (completely different grid system) - I'm trying to move the webapp to use bower to handle dependencies but `bower install bootstrap#2.3.2` fetches something that looks as the raw code repo not built, for example no css folder, just the seperate `less` files, no one minified `bootstrap.min.js` but multiple different plugins (not concatenated) etc.. Is this fixable? should I install differently?
