Depends how many upstreams are involved and therefore how many release schedules. Any more than a handful of differing release schedules and keeping such a beast up to date is impossible. I still find it hard to believe that *so* much code is required to minify JS. The excuse that JS is "moving fast" is nonsense. The reality would appear to be that nobody actually *cares* about the mess, they just use it. Why isn't there a KISS tool to do this? Is it all just special snowflake optimisations for what has to be / should be a simple process of removing whitespace and collapsing the formatting? Usable software needs usable tools. As a likely victim of the result(s) of this discussion, I'm going to say right now that I'm not the one to write such a tool. :-) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
