| Re: [iot-pmc] JavaScript CQs |
| Hi Kai, _javascript_ libs indeed often aren’t easy… I agree that in general the original, pre-processed source should be added to the CQ as this is the code that is relevant wrt copyright. Pretty often it is not easy to figure out what part of a repo actually IS the original source - so the solution of Axel to attach the built source instead might be an acceptible pragmatic approach (certainly only because this built source is still human readable and not a minified js version). We actually recently had a similar issue (see here: https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13827#c8): The js build system is so opaque that we have no clue what sources are exactly used for building the module that we are effectively using in the end. So our only chance was to request an IP review for the whole repo (minus tests&docs of course). I am not sure if Axel’s solution is acceptable by the IP team - I guess only they will be able to give a definitive answer here. Just my two cents, Kai
