I mean node-uglify. I believe that's the tool the jquery project uses themselves for their minification. I elaborated more on this at bug#679665. > Does the debian javascript packaging team want to settle on a "best > practices" minifier and document it someplace? Good idea! In my opinion we should start simple and recommend use of node-uglify in our Policy wiki page. (then later we can consider introducing a package to auto-(re-)compress allowing local admin to deviate from a default compressor) What do others in the team think? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
