There is a jQuery package in Debian, but it is a slightly older version There are various issues that motivate these rules/policies in distributions: - disk space - security updates (better to just have one copy of X to update in one shot, hard to find multiple bundled copies of X and check they all have the latest/necessary security patches) - source - bundling any minified artifact is not consider to be real source code That said, given that every project seems to depend on a different version of jQuery, there is some leniency - Debian accepts bundled copies of some things like jQuery as long as they are not minified. It is perfectly OK to minify them in an installation script, but the source tarball from the Ganglia web site must be 100% readable source code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
