Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2014-03-07 15:33:01 UTC
If course you know that javascript is not covered under the bundling guidelines.  If there were a separate jscalendar package I would probably tweak things to use it, but there isn't, so....  I'm not sure why this bug was filed and am tempted to close it.

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2014-03-10 00:28:43 UTC
I think you are referring to this passage (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_libraries):

"At this time JavaScript intended to be served to a web browser on another computer is specifically exempted from this but this will likely change in the future."

Is jscalendar a library intended for remote consumption or actually a separate application?

However, this applies only to libraries, so I think https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Bundling_of_multiple_projects still applies.

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2014-03-10 19:18:42 UTC
It's just a javascript file that's served out over the web, used to implement date selection.  It is entirely exempted from the guidelines on bundling at the current time, and I'm not really sure how you could arrive at a different conclusion.  In any case, as I wrote earlier, if there was a separate jscalendar package I'd tweak zoneminder to just symlink to it or something, but we'd actually need guidelines for packaging javascript in a manner able to be used in that way, and we don't have them.

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.
