As one of the packagers of Trac for Debian I have to oppose. (Well, not strongly, but oppose.) For distributions such as Debian or Ubuntu it is very important not to duplicate software in the archive, mainly, but not only, for security reasons. Therefore, JQuery is packaged as a Debian package that is used by Trac, but also by other web applications. If e.g. a security bug is found in JQuery, we need only to update the JQuery package with a fixed version and do not need to care about Trac and e.g. half a dozen other packages. In any case, as Debian packager of Trac I would have to use the Debian JQuery package, not an embedded copy in the Trac archive. If, however, the JQuery version embedded in Trac and the one in Debian diverge, if Debian uses a newer version, I fear, that resulting problems would not have high priority, because "the embedded copy works". Well, the risk is probably not so high, but in any case I would prefer to not include any 3rd party SW in the Trac release. If Trac would use an embedded copy of JQuery, why not also include Genshi, Pygments, PySQLite/PsycoPG etc.? I hope, you don't do that :~) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group. To post to this group, send email to trac-us...@googlegroups.com.
