Hi, Fesco was approached with a question about packaging javascript. We have voted in favor of updating the guidelines.
Packages containing JavaScript should make the best effort to regenerate any precompiled/pre-minimized JS wherever possible, as this leads to more maintainable packages. Where this would result in a significant hardship, the bundled pregenerated JS may be shipped. This does not eliminate the requirement to validate licenses of bundled code.
What do FPC think? Any comments or concerns?
+1
+1, sounds good to me. I'm not really happy about the state of NPM / JS ecosystem, but that's not something we can change :(
Can somebody file a pull request to amend the packaging guidelines? Approving an actual guidelines change is probably better than just saying "I agree" and have nothing happen :)
The FPC are basically +5 on the change, but someone needs to write the actual change :).
