bower package name throws error

[clamstew]

I got a bower install error that said The name has to end with a lower case character from a to z. The bower docs mention:

The package name must adhere to the bower.json spec.

bower.json spec goes on to say that:

• Should be slug style for simplicity, consistency and compatibility. Example: unicorn-cake
• Lowercase, a-z, can contain digits, 0-9, can contain dash or dot but not start/end with them.

I assume this means that the name in bower.json should not have a number at the end. Something like "angular-growl-2v" might work.

This seems to be a pretty recent change in bower 0.5.0. I'd like to wait until there is a more solidified response from bower on what to do here, since anybody that's currently using angular-growl-2 wouldn't necessarily get mapped.

@flippinjoe21 Bower is now on version 1.4.1.

0.5.0 came out close to 3 years ago.

@clamstew he's refering to the bower-json module which has its own versions and broke everything in version 0.5.0.
