Hi,
Since there is already NodeJs in Fedora, shouldn't be the JavaScript exception [1] revisited? There are JavaScript libraries reviews, such as CofeeScript [2], already ongoing. However, there is also it copy of CoffeeScript in rubygem-coffee-script-source. I know I am going to make my life harder, on the other hand, this is just system library and should not be duplicated.
The exception shouldn't need revisiting (things that run on NodeJS should not be covered by the exception under the current guidelines) "At this time JavaScript intended to be served to a web browser on another computer is specifically exempted from this but this will likely change in the future." <= that exception does not cover JavaScript that runs on the local computer.
You are partially right. Nevertheless, in time we did review of rubygem-coffee-script-source, there was no need to unbundle the coffeescript.js from the package IMO, since there were no other place where to put it anyway. There was no other package which would provide it. There was no easy way how to execute it, etc. But now, it should be changed. There might be more packages like this.
