This is an interesting new example, but: Pirate, can you please
clarify what exactly your current position is, for me ?
In particular, firstly, do you now accept that the files provided in
libjs-handlebars as "source code" are not really source, because of
the facts described in #830986 (relating to parser generator output) ?
Are you therefore offering the (browserified, I assume) uglifyJS in
the ruby-uglifier source package as an additional (presumably, better)
example of the general problem you are trying get the TC to resolve in
your TC referral bug #830978 ?
If so, can you confirm that you've verified that everything in the the
copy of uglifyJS in ruby-uglifier is indeed simply a concatenation of
the original uglifyjs source (as found in the uglifyjs source
package) ? If so, how did you perform that verification ? If it is
not a simple concatenation, how do you know what the transformation
is ?
There are a number of other questions which came up during the
discussion of libjs-handlebars to which I don't currently know the
answers for uglifyjs and ruby-uglifier:
Is the uglifyjs in ruby-uglifier in fact itself the result of
processing by an instance of uglifyjs, or by some other tool (eg
grunt) ?
Do uglifyjs upstream accept patches which are supplied as patches to
the browserified version as found in ruby-handlebars ?
Is the uglifyjs in ruby-uglifier a browserified version of some
version of uglifyjs whose ultiate source code is (or has been) in
Debian ?
Ian.
