[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#734763: Bug#734763: Please update libjs-jquery-cookie and use upstream numbering
Hi Marcelo, > I'm late, but only for clarify why I created the jquery-goodies package. > > See: > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-javascript-devel/2009-May/000238.html Thanks, it is a very useful package :-) When talking to our upstream developers about the way they use JavaScript, they typically go to get the latest files from GitHub etc. rather than looking first to see which version they can get from Debian. Over time, unless there is a known bug which forces an update, their bundled library becomes older than the version available in Debian. So they don't necessarily always have the latest version, but they do know exactly the version they have. Cheers!

I believe symlinks should be used whenever a library can be used also offline (i.e. not *only* via a web browser). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature ___ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel

Sounds to me that a bundle package cannot have a version that indicates versions of each of the bundled parts, and it is *not* sensible to throw an epoch to try please just one piece of the bundle. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature ___ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
