-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I have a question regarding the use of minified javascripts in pacakges. Of course these need to be accompanied by the proper source code, but is it acceptable to simply use already minified js that often accompany the source packages, as long as the source is also there? Builing (at least in an automated manner) stuff like for instance jQuery can be a pain in Debian since we do not have all the required tools [1]. I agree that this approach is not ideal, but as long as we don't have a working grunt i believe it is the most sensible approach. We don't build the lib ourself, but it is possible to download the source package and manually build if you're ok with installing software that is not in Debian.
If we had multiple versions of the libs in Debian one could simply remove the minified js from the source and use the one in Debian, but at least in the case of jQuery the package in Debian is hopelessly outdated because of [1]. I have experimented a bit with using the old (pre grunt) build system for jQuery, and it seems to be possible, but to spend hours doing this kind of build system reinvetion for every lib upstream uses seems a bit silly to me.
