[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#474913: Completely overrides /javascript in lighttpd as well

[Michal Čihař]

Package: javascript-common
Version: 8
File: /etc/javascript-common/lighttpd.conf

Hi

this bug is open for more than two years I still don't see clarification
why this needs to be done.

I see two major issues with this:

1. The alias is made globally for all (virtual) hosts, what just breaks
   lot of applications silently.

2. The /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/90-javascript-alias.conf symlink is
   unconditionally recreated on each package update.

Given that 1 breaks unrelated software (this is actually how I came into
it) and 2 is violation of policy 10.7.3, I am upgrading this bug to
serious.
