Upstream uses uglifyjs to minify, so do I where it's available. But on some platforms, uglifyjs is not available due to missing nodejs (which is in turn due to missing V8 on some platforms). That forces me to use yui-compressor, which is untested by upstream, and may introduce hard-to-find bugs: https://sources.debian.net/src/witty/3.3.4%2Bdfsg-2/debian/rules/ ### JavaScript minifier# Use UglifyJS (what upstream uses) where available,# yui-compressor (what upstream used in the past) where there is no UglifyJSMINIFIER=$(shell which uglifyjs)ifneq ($(MINIFIER),) IS_UGLIFY2=$(shell grep -E '"version": "2\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"' /usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js/package.json) ifeq ($(IS_UGLIFY2),) # Legacy: uglifyjs < 2.x MINIFIER_FLAGS=-c --no-seqs -nc else # uglifyjs >= 2.x MINIFIER_FLAGS=-c sequences=false endifelse MINIFIER=/usr/bin/yui-compressor MINIFIER_FLAGS=--nomungeendif -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
