The resulting file (or its +minification) would then be installed / deployed together with gitweb. + +Scripts in 'lib/' subdirectory compose generic JavaScript library, +providing features required by gitweb but in no way limited to gitweb +only. In the future those scripts could be replaced by some JavaScript +library / framework, like e.g. jQuery, YUI, Prototype, MooTools, Dojo, +ExtJS, Script.aculo.us or SproutCore. + +All scripts that manipulate gitweb output should be put outside 'lib/', +directly in this directory ('gitweb/static/js/'). Those scripts would +have to be rewritten if gitweb moves to using some JavaScript library. + +See also comments in gitweb/Makefile. |
