Description Jakub Kadlčík 2018-04-08 13:05:29 UTC
Description of problem:
There is no `bootstrap.min.css` file in the package. This is a problem because the upstream documentation refers to this file. See https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/getting-started/


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.3.7.1-3.fc28


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ql xstatic-bootstrap-scss-common |grep "min\."


Actual results:
There is only `bootstrap.min.js`, no `bootstrap.min.css`


Expected results:
There should be also a `bootstrap.min.css` file

Comment 1 Radomir Dopieralski 2018-04-09 06:36:20 UTC
The xstatic packages should not contain minified files — those are generated by the application using them. The bootstrap.min.js is an exception, because the process of compiling it is non-trivial.

Comment 2 Jakub Kadlčík 2018-04-09 07:16:35 UTC
Thank you for the reply Radomir.
I would like to note, that there is also no `bootstrap.css` file. Should this one be generated too?

In such case, I think that it would be a good idea to explain this in README.txt and show us the way how to do it. Or if this is a case for most xstatic packages, describing it on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Web_Assets

Comment 3 Jakub Kadlčík 2018-04-09 08:00:35 UTC
I also don't understand why xstatic packages should not contain minified files. Why don't we generate such files during %build phase and provide them?

Comment 4 Matthias Runge 2018-04-09 08:09:18 UTC
The python-xstatic packages were included to carry libraries required for OpenStack dashboard. bootstrap.min.js was not required, since openstack dashboard compresses js files at runtime/when required. There is often a disussion around this mine-field. For example, Debian considers minified js as non-free.

I found also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:JavaScript#Compilation.2FMinification 

which has no clear guideline for or against minification.

Jakub, can you tell us what is the actual problem you are trying to solve here? Maybe we could then suggest a better solution.

Comment 6 Jakub Kadlčík 2018-04-10 11:44:46 UTC
Thank you guys,
I am currently not trying to solve any actual problem, I just think that xstatic packages are an awesome thing and helped me to remove hundreds of files of third-party code that were bundled in the project.

The only issue of this packages, in general, is a lack of documentation. Particularly in case of `xstatic-bootstrap-scss-common` I don't even know how to use it.

Can I ask you to update the README.txt and add a few lines about how to use it?
