Re: [ovirt-devel] PatternFly upgrade - how to handle JS dependencies

Hello, we'd like to upgrade the version of PatternFly (plus associated libraries, namely Bootstrap and jQuery) used in oVirt UI. Today, PatternFly stuff (PF + associated libraries) comes from `patternfly1` package hosted at Copr repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/patternfly/patternfly1/ Today, we require `patternfly1` as both Engine RPM build dependency and the Engine devel. env. dependency. To keep things simple, I'd like to propose the following approach: - create oVirt specific package, e.g. `ovirt-patternfly`, hosted at Copr, containing PatternFly + associated libraries (Bootstrap, jQuery) which are intended *specifically* for use by oVirt UI (hence the ovirt prefix) - discontinue maintenance of `patternfly1` package at Copr - keep the existing approach: require `ovirt-patternfly` as both the Engine build dependency and the Engine devel. env. dependency

An alternative approach would be to introduce Node.js as Engine devel. env. dependency (use `npm install` to pull PF stuff), while using the existing ovirt-engine-{nodejs,nodejs-modules} packages for Engine RPM build. However, this alternative has some downsides, namely complication of devel. env. just to fetch the PF stuff. I don't like the idea of complicating the existing devel. env. just for the sake of fetching some 3rd party libs. I'm wondering what others think about this.
