Packaging of web apps: bower, yeoman...

[olivier sallou]

Hi,
I'd like to know if some developper already packaged web apps using
bower/yeoman. Those tools are more and more popular in web development to
get web related libraries and , with Grunt,
concatenate/minify/obscorate/... used libraries.
The issue is, like npm, maven or other tools, they download resources from
internet to create a local structure of file (js, css, ...) used later on
for minification etc... This is against Debian policy for packaging
(getting files from Internet).

We can of course disable from upstream source the download of resources
(patch to remove bower/yeoman tasks), to use local packaged libraries, but
this does not give to those tools the expected directory structure for
later postprocessing

So I wonder what others usually do for those kind of apps (if any have
already packaged such web apps). Example packages?

Thanks

Olivier
