Re: [MoM] Minified JS and other things
Hi Ian,
Diane has properly answered your main question (which proves my point to
always communicate via mailing list :-)).

I'm no JS expert but as far as I know it is hard to tell whether
versions are compatible or not. I consider your strong connection to
upstream a big advantage to sort this out with competent people which
I'm definitely not. My general approach to seek whether some JS is
packaged in Debian an can be used for symlinking is to
apt-file search <js-filename>
(You need to install apt-file package and do `sudo apt-file update` when
you want to use it immediately.) It also helps to do some
apt-cache search <libname> | grep ^libjs
since all JS packages should start with libjs. Once you have found a
fitting JavaScript package you can use the dh-linktree package (as
Build-Depends) add
dh $@ --with linktree
to your debian/rules file and create a file debian/<pkgname>.linktrees.
While it is a bit nifty to understand how dh-linktree works it ends up
to be a quite clean solution. You can find examples for the usage in
the packages
python-biom-format
pyqi
libhmsbeagle
python-sqlsoup
which are all in our SVN but you can also simply get the source via
apt-get source <pkgname>
to have a detailed look into these examples.
Kind regards
Andreas.
