Bundling the actual source instead of prebuilt files still doesn't solve the problem of not being able to build from source because the build tools are missing from Debian. It has always been ftp-master policy that source must be buildable on Debian and the latest mail from them just reiterates that and states that yes, this does apply to everything, including JavaScript. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/10/msg00138.html > Just don't make me maintain a package in > a language more horrible than PHP (in my eyes :-P). Some day browsers will support WebAssembly so you can write in any language that can compile to that. I'm sure people will start writing web front-end code in PHP once it gets an LLVM backend ;P -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
