I very much understand the logic. My intent when building the jpoker source package is to provide all sources and tools I'm using when I work on the project, even if they are not strictly needed to build an installable version. However, when it comes to relatively exotic (or new) tools like jscoverage or tiddlywikicp, this imposes a packaging effort that is probably a little too much. If that's agreeable to you, I could arrange for the next release to include an install target that merely copies files and be done with it. The source tarbal could contain the source of the tools (excluding the .zip is not a problem since it's otherwise expanded) but they would not be mandatory. - From my upstream point of view it would mean that the source release also contains a "binary" release. However, because it is a pure JavaScript application, there is no real technical difference between the source and the "binary". The binary is just a re-assembled set of files built with cat/cp. In addition, the "binary" release is so small that it would not be much of an inconvenience with regard to the size of the tarbal. If this (install + "binary" in the tarbal) is agreeable to you, I'll implement it for the next release (1.0.14) and you can wait for it to be published before upgrading the fedora package.
