Speaking of Fedoraisms, could we please serve Javascripts through
"/javascripts" ? Debian already has a long precedent of doing this.
I'm concerned that if Fedora invents "_sysassets", we're setting
ourselves up to make the upstream advocacy task that you mentioned
much harder.
I wasn't aware Debian already exported a directory for this. (But
"/javascripts", really?) It would be nice if they wrote that into
their policy.
We still need something for CSS frameworks and such, but maybe we
could drop the underscore and have:
/sysassets/ -> for CSS, theming, etc.
/javascripts/ -> for JS
The httpd maintainer would really prefer if we didn't use something
that could potentially conflict as easily as "/javascripts" though.
Not sure if "Debian does it" is a good enough reason to override
that...
Speaking as a web app package maintainer, I think this policy has
great intentions, and I think there's advantages to following Debian's
URL precedent.
