I think the policy referred to there is not Debian Policy, but the policy of the FTP-master team. > The Developers’ Reference, on the contrary, advises to keep > useless but DFSG-compliant files: Note that the section you quote is explicitly limited to unused *build infrastructure*, i.e. files that comprise tools needed for changing and building from the source package. That does not match compiled (minified) JavaScript files, which are clearly not part of the build infrastructure – they are the *end product* of a build, and hence not part of the source. -- \ “We can't depend for the long run on distinguishing one | `\ bitstream from another in order to figure out which rules | _o__) apply.” —Eben Moglen, _Anarchism Triumphant_, 1999 | 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
