Other languages – e.g. Python, Ruby, Emacs's elisp, etc. – have a policy on what packages should install and where they should install them. The establishment of such a policy has enabled conventions for packaging tools (e.g. ‘dh_python’) to perform the compilation and renaming in a standard manner for all packages using the tool. What is the Debian ECMAScript (JavaScript) policy on: * Whether to install source and/or compiled (minified) versions? * What compiler (minifier) to use by default? * Where to put the source and compiled versions during install? * How to name the installed files so that library names and versions can predictably be located? etc. If such questions aren't yet answered in a Debian-wide policy, what are the current consensus on these? What prospect is there to have the discussions needed to reach a consensus for policy? -- \ “When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold to the masses | `\ over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and | _o__) its speaker a raving lunatic.” —Dresden James | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
