<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td valign="top"><p dir=ltr>Hi Paul and all,<br>
(sorry for the top posting, my android mail client allows only this mode)</p>
<p dir=ltr>are you aware that at some point almost _every_ debian packages will be repackaged?</p>
<p dir=ltr>I'm talking about embedded jquery as example and sdlgfx.<br>
What we do is symlink and remove jquery while building, but this leave the js in the source tarball.</p>
<p dir=ltr>should we really remove and repackage almost every program that has a Docs folder?</p>
<p dir=ltr>I think the point of having a binary file (not built by debian builders) in the binary package is a security issue, but removing and symlinking it while building isn't.</p>
<p dir=ltr>And users installs only the binary, not the source.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Following this rule we (or better you since I'm not a DD) will have to upload again some thousand packages just because of some js, some windows dll, some library leftover and so on.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Unfortunately most upstream people don't care too much about this...<br>
should debian focus more on this rather than fixing bugs?</p>
<p dir=ltr>(to clarify my position, I'm here to ask and learn, not to complain)</p>
<p dir=ltr>Sorry for the (partial) off topic, I hope is ok with the list (I have also some (more) similar issues with games)</p>
<p dir=ltr>Once you asked me to ask upstream to provide the _source_ file for every png file on the tarball and build it at runtime.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Upstream said that they have not most of them anymore, that for 100MB of images they took DAYS in building.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Should I repackage the 150MB source tarball with one 1500MB one, and move from 1 hour build to 1 week one?</p>
<p dir=ltr>I honestly think that at some point we have to stop caring about all this stuff and focus more on bug fixes.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Just my .02$</p>
