I'll make a ticket for this in bitbucket as soon as it allows me to log in. But there's an existing problem with jsmin, the license of the "C" version. (Can't link to it because butbucket is down.) It has a "do no evil" license which Fedora can't distribute. If I can't get it relicensed I'll have to delete it. The C code is also convoluted and undocumented, which I've just left as is. I haven't decided whether to keep just the Python version or delete jsmin entirely. -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
