[question] outdated js libraries #25

Open duncdrum opened 7 years ago

duncdrum commented 7 years ago

bootstrap 3.0.3 (released 2014) is severely outdated, 3.3.7 is current and 4.0.0 is approaching. Beginners can no longer just copy paste examples from the bootstrap docs into their exist code, without running into troubles because of this. I have tried to update the js library in my local test machine and ran into js artefacts all over the place (granted that was a while ago). I dislike jquery but it probably suffers a similar fate.

Are there better strategies to keep shared resources current, without breaking existing apps? Would it make sense to move shared-resources to a more aggressive dependency management regiment? Maybe switch the html starter code to cdnjs?

CDJNS is not an option for general usage as quite a few users use eXist-db in a restricted environment, with no HTTP acces to internet resources.

I did not realize that examples do not work anymore, I have not seen it myself yet :-)

so we need to have a strategy in place for sure...... but putting what ever version in shared-resources make no sense either

@dizzzz I don't have a good idea for a strategy either. Maybe something for the next conference call. I just think that doing nothing is going to cause more troubles further down the road.
