I am trying to modify the mathjaxr package so that the tarball includes
full source code to Mathjax, but only a minified version gets installed.
This will save space on the user's system, and should make it run a
tiny bit faster.
To do this, I am trying using js::uglify_files in a src/install.libs.R
file, and that's the only place the js package is needed. I want a way
to say that js *must* be present to install mathjaxr, but doesn't need
to be loaded when mathjaxr is loaded.
Adding
LinkingTo: js
to the DESCRIPTION file seems like it would do this, but checking says:
NOTE
'LinkingTo' for ‘js’ is unused as it has no 'include' directory
Is that an ignorable NOTE? If not, is there another strategy for
minifying Javascript files at install time?
