I don't think the problem was really about the need to unbundle a
javascript library, but "how" to package it.

I see 2 solutions to use a system JS library:

1/ using a symlink in the application tree.

This is probably the simpler
(even if it imply, for apache, a FollowSymLinks option)


2/ using an Alias

ex: Alias /appname/jslibname /usr/share/jslibname

But this will requires 2 apache configuration files
- one in the app to define the alias
- one in the library to allow access to the library dir


3/ other web server

Don't know.




I have recently submit syntaxhighlighter for review[1] and have try to
allow both (httpd configuration in a sub-package to avoid dependency on
http in the main one).

So, I think we mainly need a packaging Guidelines for JavaScript, and
then, we'll be able to drop the exception.

Remi.
