Bug#763993: hamster-applet: HTML report uses JS scripts hosted at Google

[Martín Ferrari]

Package: hamster-applet
Version: 2.91.3+git20120514.b9fec3e1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Today, when trying to make a report of my monthly work while offline, I noticed
the HTML report would not load in the web browser. Turns out, it was trying to
download stuff from ajax.googleapis.com! 

So, this is problematic for three reasons:

* The jquery libraries are packaged for Debian, so hamster could just depend on
  them and use a file:// URL.
* Depending on an remote resource means offline operation is hampered for no
  good reason.
* Many people will be unhappy when they realise google is getting some
  information about them every time they produce a time sheet.

The offending code in the report is this:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<link type="text/css"
href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"
rel="stylesheet" />
