Hello, I looked into trying to package jQuery, and it turned out to be quite the challenge, much larger than I expected:
http://dustycloud.org/blog/javascript-packaging-dystopia/ In short, this is another instance where per-language packaging has helped things grow to a fairly insane state. I'm not sure how we can ever get jQuery packaged. This is a shame, because many free software web applications (including MediaGoblin) depend on it. To make matters worse, I'm sure nearly all modern javascript libraries are like this. I'm not really sure what this means for Guix and libre web application in the future. I'd really like Guix to shine there... but this seems like a tough thing to overcome. - Chris
