issue with eco dependency #71

Closed pravi closed 9 years ago

pravi commented 9 years ago

I am packaging backbone-on-rails for debian and it has a dependency on eco (do you really use it?) but I cannot generate eco.js from the coffee script sources (because any minified javascript should be generated on debian from their sources and eco.js provided by eco-source is minified).

see https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2015/06/msg00038.html for errors. Can you suggest how to proceed?

eco is the templating language when using coffeescript, while ejs is used for javascript. Currently the gem relies on both ejs and eco as I couldn't find a way to conditionally depend on one or the other.

eco.js is minified here: https://github.com/sstephenson/eco/blob/0d60edbf4ee76beaade73368de412b5fee7edba7/Cakefile#L80

The best I can suggest is to open an issue / pull request to also include an unminified version of eco.js in the build step.

Thanks for the reply. Last commit of eco is in 2012 so I don't know if I can get that change done there.

https://github.com/sstephenson/eco/issues/66 Can we use ECT?

The syntax looks compatible, but apparently no sprockets support :( https://github.com/baryshev/ect/issues/32
