Nothing is decided in Debian, as that bug (and also, arguably to a lesser degree since ligttpd is less popular, also bug#474913) reflects. Our current /javascript looks pretty, is relatively short, but risk clash with paths of various webapp projects. Your /_sysassets/javascript is less pretty, not as short, but less likely to clash. My proposed /usr/share/javascript is equally ugly, slightly longer, also less likely to clash, and additionally is usable offline. What I suggest is that Debian and Fedora (and other distros) do _not_ coordinate on a unified path to use, but mirror in html the filesystem path (relative from the root of the local system) where the files are actually stored - so as to support offline use (where applicable). It might make sense to then coordinate on a unified path for _storing_ javascript files (and perhaps also on naming of (non-)uglified flavors, JS-specific CSS and other files. But such coordination makes best sense for me to do in the File Hierarchy Standard. > (Lastly, please keep me in the CC on this thread, as I'm not > subscribed to the list) Will do.
