With all the talk about removing jquery from source packages, one thing that does arise is the question of how to support different jquery versions.
This is not just a JavaScript issue though. Maybe we can have libjs-jquery-1.7 libjs-jquery-1.10 and friends all installed concurrently. Maybe it will be needed more widely though (e.g. for some Java stuff too). On the other hand, some maintainers and security team naturally don't want the hassle of supporting so many versions concurrently. With so many upstreams now including stuff like this, particularly in web software and the emergence of node.js as well, maybe a generalized approach is needed. There was even a debate about this on the backports list recently in the context of how to support different versions of OpenStack (not installed concurrently though, but just making perhaps the most recent 2 releases available to users on wheezy) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
