I need to package the xmlbuilder module (it's a new dependency for
another module I own) but packaging it has raised some interesting
questions.
The javascript source in the npm package, which is what the packaging
guidelines tell us to use as the source, is compiled from coffee script
and also doesn't include any source.
We've worked around similar situations in the past by having a second
source archive which contains the tests pulled from github, but in this
case there's an extra issue - the tests work on the original coffee
script source not the compiled javascript.
In any case the coffee script is the real source, so shouldn't I really
be packaging the github tar ball and building the js from that as part
of the rpm?
