Package: libjs-jsxc Version: 1.0.0~dfsg-1 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512
Dear Maintainer, Currently, the files in libjs-jsxc package are split into two areas: /usr/share/javascript/jsxc and /usr/share/libjs-jsxc. This leads to problems: 1) /usr/share/javascript directory is served by javascript-common package under /javascript on the web server. Files placed in /usr/shared/javascript/jsxc are available by default, at least with Apache2, while the remaining files outside the directory are not available. This requires a simple page that is using this library to create symlinks into the /usr/share/libjs-jsxc directory and serve them instead of simply adding <script> tags with "/javascript/jsxc/" URLs. 2) Splitting causes problems. When using this JS library, one needs to specify in settings parameter a single 'root' directory from which this library will end up loading images and support libraries. These files are now split among the two directories leading to hacks when using the package. As a workaround I had create a dummy directory and link files from both the directories and serve this directory using web server to use the library. This solution will not work when the package is upgraded and more files need to be symlinked. On the other hand, if all the files are available from a single directory it would be possible to write a single page HTML file (depending on javascript-common package) that can use this library properly without symlink hacks. I suggest placing all the files in the /usr/share/javascript/jsxc directory. Note that the Javascript packaging policy does not state that the CSS and image files have to be outside this directory. All the other Javascript libraries seem to follow the approach of placing related CSS and image files in the same directory as Javascript files, to not break the folder structure. See libjs- jquery-ui for example. Symlinks may need to be created for backward compatibility if this is done. In case this is not done for some reason, symlinks at least need to created so that all files appear to be available from a single directory in /usr/share/javascript/jsxc.
