Hi!

I have a general question regarding packaging of Javascript libraries as parts 
of application:

Eg. phpmyadmin contains jquery in a specific version. Because phpmyadmin is 
GPL2+, jquery must also be licensed under the GPL (which is possible). 
licensing under the GPL implies, the source-code is made available with the 
package. Unfortunately, only the compressed code is packed with the phpmyadmin 
sources.

The only "clean" way - in my opinion - is to package those libraries in 
seperate package, which makes packaging quite complex. I could think of packaging the 
libs under /use/share/js/libraryname/version.release in packages called 
libraryVersion.release and package those seperately. Of course, packaging is getting very 
complex...

What do you suggest, regarding this problem?

Best regards,
Johannes
