obsolete JavaScript packaging guidelines

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:_javascript_
is terribly outdated. Even when it was created years ago, IMO the advice was questionable. Today, it's definitely bad advice.

Modern web applications use webpack for _javascript_. With webpack, _javascript_ is minified and bundled, and sometimes assets are even injected. I realize bundling libraries is bad for an old-school RPM-based application. But no one packages _javascript_ into RPMs (try to find react and friends), and the page is leading to confusion on my team.

To prevent confusion, acceptable options would be: either simply deleting the page, or placing a giant "don't follow this outdated advice" banner at the top.

Best wishes,
Greg
