Which is cool from a packager perspective but, what about the
programmers outside the (great) Debian world ? They have to bundle
jQuery UI over and over in every plugin to ensure that it will work
everywhere ...

I agree with you about not including Py libs in trac package, but
perhaps we are talking about two different things. I am mentioning a
poor little JS lib bundled with Trac since a long time ago whereas all
you mention are Python libs . Isn't it possible to do for jQuery UI
(i.e. libjs-jquery-ui) the same thing you do (and I can't figure out
;o) when packaging Trac w/ jQuery (i.e. libjs-jquery) ?
@ Remy Blank
Q:
- Does Debian package jQuery UI? How does it link it into the
packages that need it?
`libjs-jquery-ui`, and `libjs-jquery` is in recommends so I suppose
there's another copy inside Trac ?
PS: Hey ! Everybody ! I talked to Santa and he'll bring us many great
Trac plugins, so Merry Christmas !
