Bug#681676: repackaged upstream tarball solution?
A lot of upstreams use this tool or jshint during their build,
particularly due to systems like grunt encouraging it in their docs
To save time for other maintainers, why not package a repackaged
upstream tarball?
Just strip out everything with the "no evil" clause
None of the logic is mandatory for a build process anyway, this is just
a QA tool
If there are no warnings left at all, then I suppose the tool could just
spit out a message like the following:
Warning: your build script depends on a non-free tool. Please stop
calling jslint or set JSLINT_EVIL_IGNORE=1 to make this message go away
If Mr Crockford really wants people to consider the advice that his tool
gives about JavaScript coding practices, then he will release the code
under a free software license and then all the other stuff will work the
way he wants it to.
