Hello, While working on the Spacewalk redesign, we so far used less.js client-side. This is fine for development purposes, but it's however not the recommended way to go for production environments, see [1]. Rather we probably want to compile the spacewalk.less into spacewalk.css during the rpm build of spacewalk-branding. This means: 'BuildRequire' a less compiler, call it during build and install only the compiled *.css onto the server.
Now, since I would want to modify the .spec of spacewalk-branding accordingly, my question is the following: Do you have any preference of a specific compiler package to use? It would be good if we use a package that either already exists, or does not have many dependencies, so it is easy to build for all of the relevant distributions. The most valuable options as far as I can see are: - nodejs-less (there is nodejs-less in fedora, but it depends on nodejs, of course) - lesscss-engine (Java wrapper around less.js, no dependency on nodejs) - install less as ruby gem (requires ruby, I didn't test this one) - python-lesscpy (re-implementation based on Python Lex-Yacc, fails for our current .less) Let me know what you think, especially tell me if I am missing any other good options here. I personally would go for lesscss-engine: It's based on less.js and it needs only rhino and some jakarta commons libs. We build it for openSUSE already, see [2].
