As I've said I may be wrong and I still may be wrong. I just try to build on Marcelo POV [1]. He asked to remove minified files so I say "perhaps [...] debian policy is to exclude them from sources". I should have said "A pkg-javascript policy could be we don't embed minified files into orig tarball" [1] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-javascript-devel/2014-March/007176.html Cheers, -- François-Régis _______________________________________________ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
