Cytoscape extension hosting ending

[dilema]

A lot of used cytoscape extensions are hosted on RawGit. Unfortunately, the website will shut down and the host service will end in October 2019:

RawGit is now in a sunset phase and will soon shut down. It's been a fun five years, but all things must end. GitHub repositories that served content through RawGit within the last month will continue to be served until at least October of 2019. URLs for other repositories are no longer being served. If you're currently using RawGit, please stop using it as soon as you can.

Concerned extensions (and GitHub link)

• cytoscape.js-cose-bilkent
• cytoscape.js-cola
• cytoscape.js-panzoom
• cytoscape.js-cxtmenu

Also the stylesheet for panzoom (no actual GitHub repository found): https://cdn.rawgit.com/cytoscape/cytoscape.js-panzoom/2.5.2/cytoscape.js-panzoom.css

In a hobby project I recently started I'm playing around with managing js and css dependencies using npm and grunt. Something similar could potentially be used for Complex, and this would not only help us manage external libraries, but also automatically minify code, add css vendor prefixes, etc.

In case we keep the old way, I saw on the cytoscape demos page source that they're using a new host provider: unpkg.com

Usage example: <script src="https://unpkg.com/cytoscape-cola@2.2.3/cytoscape-cola.js"></script>
