I was wondering about this myself. Debian uses
/usr/share/javascript/mathjax, so I think we should use
/share/javascript/mathjax. a webapps directory implies that we intend to
categories "webapp" versus "non-webapp" packages, a functional
distinction that seems unimportant to the system as a whole. Debian has
a policy of naming JS packages like libjs-mathjax. On the other hand
Arch just calls it mathjax. Perhaps these things start to become an
issue once we have 20k+ packages, so I'm not sure there.
Once this is finalised, I can unbundle mathjax from Calibre, but then
the Calibre package will break if mathjax's path changes later on, so we
should sort this out now. Perhaps a way to solve it is to consider
future Javascript packages, and figure out what the most elegant way to
file them would be. I believe there are on the order of 100,000 JS
libraries out there in the wild, so I imagine we'll only be getting more
and more of them in due time. Perhaps a new gnu/packages/javascript.scm
file is ideal? After all, Mathjax is not just code for web browsers, but
is also used for MathML support in programs like Calibre's ebook-viewer.
Please take the time to think it through and set the convention for
future Javascript packages.
