[Pkg-javascript-devel] Merging node-jquery and libjs-jquery source packages

[Pirate Praveen]

Hi,

Historically we did not have the build tools for jquery in the archive, so a custom build system was created to build libjs-jquery. If there is any change in upstream build system, it will be hard to update this build system and since the same build tools used by upstream is now available in the archive, I don't think the original need for this custom build system is no longer valid.

node-jquery was just the original unbuilt source. Once we had the build tools in Debian, I was able to build jquery 2 with tools in the archive (rainloop wanted jquery 2 and its upstream already switched to jquery 3). libjs-jquery was already shipping jquery 3. Now I updated node-jquery also to version 3. It is a good time to merge these two packages.

I think node-jquery should provide libjs-jquery now for ease of long term maintenance. Comments?
