JavaScript Guidelines[1] about compilation/minification don't mention source RPMs at all. Someone suggested that if we ship pre-compiled javascript in a source rpm (even if we don't then ship it in binary RPMs) we are not fulfilling the open source definition[2] More specifically this part: "The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed." In essence: Is it enough to just remove minified/obfuscated js in %prep/%build to make sure we are not using pre-built version or do we have to remove it from the tarball so that we don't ship such compiled versions even in SRPMs? Above is especially important for GPL-licensed JS libraries, but even more permissive licenses could run afoul of Fedora "Freedom" foundation I guess.
