You are quite welcome to propose tp relevant teams streamlining which could ease your packaging. A cleanup might take time to coordinate, and agreeing on tidying the structure may take time too, but that shouldn't discourage you from initiating that process :-) I recommend to discuss that in those smaller teams rather than here. > For some XStatic packages, the embedded static files are not present > in Debian.

Please don't embed reusable non-Python code into Python-specific packages - then you end up with same problem as you ran into yourself with ruby-bootstrap-sass (see right below). Instead, package (or request others like the Javascript ot Sass team) to package those which you need. > See for example bootstrap-scss, which comes with a huge Ruby > framework. I have no intention to package all of that... I guess you mean ruby-bootstrap-sass - please see bug#739783. > As I know very little about packaging of some upstream code (for > example, I have never maintained ruby or nodejs packages), and that I > don't need them anyway (I only need a few javascript files from them, > I will have no use of Ruby or nodejs code), then I decided to *not* > package the full upstream package, and leave the embedded copy inside > the python-xstatic-* packages.

Please don't postpone proper packaging until others eventually steps up. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
