Debian is proposing to remove the ganglia-web package because of the pre-compiled/minified jQuery and friends, this would also see us cut from Ubuntu and other derivatives: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736104
These are the files in question: js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js js/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.min.js jquery.scrollTo-1.4.2-min.js dash/js/jquery-ui-1.8.14.custom.min.js I'm going to fix this for the next ganglia-web release, I will have to do one of the following things: a) include the uncompressed versions of these files in releases as well and a trivial script for compressing each of them during installation of ganglia-web. Whenever somebody adds some new JS, they must add the unminified version and update the script. This may be the better approach if we really need a specific version of each JS file. b) remove the jQuery.js from the repository/release tarballs and include some script to download it for those people who don't have it in their system (this would make our tarballs smaller) Does anybody have any preference for either option? Can anybody comment on the exact versions we require, do we really need jQuery 1.9.1 for instance or can Debian users just symlink to the pre-packaged jQuery v1.7.2? Big distributions are becoming more and more pro-active about this, using scripts that scan all their packages and start the process to evict those with binary/minified artifacts. I realize this is slightly more tedious for web developers but it means everybody can have 100% certainty that 100% of the files on their system can be traced back to original source. If distributions didn't enforce this, they would end up full of malware like certain shareware sites and app stores. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
