Any distribution (perhaps except Ubuntu, which is a little funny in that regard) that has packaged the latest release of OpenStack, has those libraries. For instance, see http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-django-horizon.git/tree/python-django-horizon.spec#n129 > Front-end systems almost never use system packagers like this.

Certainly. The XStatic system itself is lifted from MoinMoin wiki, for example -- it was created to solve exactly this problem there, and is used by a couple of other projects too. As for our work and updates, using system-wide packages is an excellent solution in this regard, as we get maintenance and updates for free. For instance, if there is a security issue in one of the JavaScript libraries, we don't need to patch Horizon -- the patch that is prepared for that specific library and applied system-wide is sufficient. -- Radomir Dopieralski __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
