It looks like JSHint is not a hard requirement but will just not be used if it’s not there: https://github.com/DataTables/DataTablesSrc/blob/master/build/make.sh#L58 Otherwise I wouldn't mind patching the build script to not use it. > Their policy is that things must be buildable from > source but not that the source package has to build from source. > Personally I think the only way to prove that you can build from source > is to actually build from source, every time you build.

Could you probably give me access to collab-maint then? As a DM I only have a guest account on Alioth and someone has to approve me. I have sent a request via the Alioth web interface quite some time ago but received no response. Thanks, Sascha
