Hi Debian Javascript Maintainers, Short version: I would like to get the Lazy Load Plugin for jQuery [0] packaged in Debian. What's the way to go?
Longer version: I am currently preparing a new package for Shaarli [1]. It uses jQuery and jQuery-ui (for which I depend on the Debian packages), and also a jQuery plugin called Lazy Load which "delays loading of images in long web pages. Images outside of viewport (visible part of web page) wont be loaded before user scrolls to them." This plugin is MIT licensed (according to the source files), but Shaarli ships only the minified version of it, which is not considered to be a proper source. I would thus prefer/need to have Lazy Load be packaged for Debian, and depend on it so that I can remove the "compiled" file from my package. I see that you maintain the jquery* family of packages in Debian. How can I help to package Lazy Load for Debian? Should I file an ITP and list you and myself as maintainers? I guess I'm basically asking how your packaging team works... Technical details on Lazy Load: Lazy Load is hosted on GitHub [2] and doesn't releases tarballs [3], but the content of the git repo is available as a tarball [4] (with version number) from GitHub. Both the source file as the "compiled" minified file are versioned, and the Makefile that's included doesn't seem to be reusable. I would think about just using debian/install to list both the full and minified files in the resulting debian package. Any thoughts? Also, the git repo not only contains the source files, but also all kinds of test html pages. Are those supposed to be present in the Debian package or not? Thanks for your time. +Emilien P.S.: Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to this list.
