Remove customizations of third-party code #1165

Open dingram opened 7 years ago

dingram commented 7 years ago

Various third-party libraries used by IITC have been customized in one way or another. These customizations should either be submitted upstream, pulled out in some way, or monkey-patched (as a last resort).

Having modified third-party code in the main repository makes it very hard to upgrade, and also means that the final JS is much larger than it strictly needs to be.

sounds good, but not possible or viable.

Example 1: in leaflet & leaflet.draw the value of the earth radius was changed to reflect the simpler values used by Nia.

Example 2: in most css files image references where replaced by the @@IMAGE@@ build makro. okay. This could be easily be moved into an extra css but would again break on a library update.

IMHO its better to make clear that these files were modified.
A simple file-rename could warn developers ("leaflet-src.js" -> "leaflet-src-mod.js") Additional as developer rule: always commit the unmodified version first then commit modifications. This way you have a nice git log what and why was modified.

as an example: PR #1168 it was (nearly) done be simply cherrypick the old modifications.

I just skipped the 'rename the file' part.
