I am talking about this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769830 The package has a lintian override that I suggested, on the grounds that the incriminated file doesn't go inside a .deb package. I am neither upstream or Debian maintainer for the package, but I have sent some patches to both. The minified javascript file mentioned in the bug is completely ignored in Debian. It is replaced with a soft link and a dependency. I don't think upstream would remove these minified javascript files, because they would need a more complex build process and more dependencies. The files are just used to do an "HTML export", so they are just copied inside a directory when the HTML export is done, so I think that to convince them to build them, we would need very strong arguments. Consider that they support windows and mac as well, so they'd need their build process to work on these platforms. -- Salvo Tomaselli "Io non mi sento obbligato a credere che lo stesso Dio che ci ha dotato di senso, ragione ed intelletto intendesse che noi ne facessimo a meno." -- Galileo Galilei http://ltworf.github.io/ltworf/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
