Maybe I misunderstood you Paul, but 1) I think I followed what the policy states precisely in the fact that I provided locally javascript libraries which were _required_ for browsing the documentation. That's not the issue on which I beg for consensus. 2) Google Analytics is certainly not required (strictly speaking, it doesn't even enhance the documentation browsing experience), and in particular it can't be provided locally 3) on the other hand, if Google Analytics, and more in general remotely downloaded javascript libraries, are considered a "dependency", then web browsers should not be in main. Instead they are (and users are free to block remote javascripts). I want to make clear that I do not oppose the view that Google Analytics should be stripped off from documentation... I'm just saying that as far as I understand the policy doesn't state that. _Also_ because it doesn't mention the privacy issue (and for instance the .js which is the subject of bug #637580 _could_ be provided locally, and that wouldn't entirely solve the bug according to the submitter). thanks for any clarifications Pietro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
