At least for jquery 1.x, I just managed to reproduce the upstream build with ~ 100 lines of code. ~70 of those were basically copied from the upstream grunt stuff: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-javascript/jquery.git/tree/debian/build.js?h=debian/1.11.3%2bdfsg-3 the other ~30 lines are make targets in debian/rules: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-javascript/jquery.git/tree/debian/rules?h=debian/1.11.3%2bdfsg-3 I had to read the source of the upstream grunt build task, understand that it uses something called "requirejs", doing some reading on what requirejs is and how to use it, then extracting the build logic into a file that could be used with requirejs (which is already packages as node-reuqirejs) only -- without grunt -- and there we have it. -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
