I'm not really active in Fedora anymore but as the original author of the guidelines I wouldn't mind taking some time to get them updated to reflect more modern JavaScript practices and the new bundling policy. Nonetheless, we still have lots of web application packages that use direct <script> references and several that depend on our JavaScript packages, so unless you are personally volunteering to port all these projects to webpack the existing guidelines need to stay in some fashion. The thing is, I can't really add a webpack-based example because we don't actually seem to have webpack packaged, so one can't currently build an RPM in koji using it. I could add a grunt or gulp example right now as we do have those packaged, but those would probably be considered outdated too. -T.C. _______________________________________________ packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/ZY5X7TNBGP6ZGIDMUIKGVC2D5CX6K2DS/
