[dev] minified Javascript code in Horde

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi all,

I am currently in the process of re-upload all of Horde back to Debian  
after it had been removed by the previous package maintainer.

While doing this, I go over all the Horde source code and check its  
compliance with Debian policy.

I found several bundled + minified Javascript libraries that I'd like  
to bring up here (with the potential goal of having them exchanged to  
their non-minified counterparts).

In Debian, I must not use minified JS files, and strictly said, I need  
to repack the upstream tarballs and drop all minified code.

For these Horde components / JS bundles I could find a work around solution:

Horde_Core: OpenLayer.js (solution in Debian: I use OpenLayer-debug.js)
Horde_Core: jquery.mobile.min.css (solution in Debian: I grabbed the  
non-minified
     counterpart from upstream and ship that instead)
Horde_Mime_Viewer: some of the syntaxhighlighter (3.0.83) Javascript files are
     minified (but there is an src/ folder in Horde_Mime_Viewer)

For this, I came up with a solution, I need feedback on:

Horde: Ships a bundled and minified version of plupload 1.5.1+

My solution for the plupload bundle was to drop the plupload 1.5.1+  
shipped in Horde's source entirely and inject a plupload 1.5.3 from  
upstream. Shipping old and unmaintained code in Debian is suboptimal,  
so I wonder, if plupload is used at all in Horde theses days and if  
also the latest upstream version of plupload would work instead  
(2.3.6). Problematic with latest plupload might also be the fact that  
its license got changed to AGPL-3+ (thus, one has to provide the exact  
used copy of plupload for download ttw).

All in all, I've seen many other 3rd party Javascript libraries with  
old versions bundled in Horde. Is there any chance of getting those  
updated sooner or later?

Greets,
Mike
