Hi, Do we favor tracking the true upstreams when packaging for Debian? Concretely I need¹ a javascript library for server-side use, but the maintainer considers it adequate² to package that project only browser-optimized. I personally feel it is a bug to not track the true upstream of a project, but that seems not part of our Policy. Should I respect fellow package maintainers prioritizing convenience over elegance, or insist that we should strive towards perfection? - Jonas ¹ I am initially packaging kss-node - bug#816003 ¹ bug#809977 requests adding node-handlebars to src:libjs-handlebars (to cover not only browser but also server-side use), but package maintainer chose to instead package libjs-handlebars from a Ruby bundling (re)source (see changelog entry for ruby-handlebars-assets 2:0.20.1-3, written some months after bug#809977). -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
