Item8770: JQueryPlugin does not build

JQueryPlugin does not build, due to inconsistencies between the files in the MANIFEST and the contents of the repository.

cd core && perl pseudo-install.pl JQueryPlugin reports:

Building release 3.31 of JQueryPlugin, from version 6803 (2010-03-20)
/home/foswiki/trunk/JQueryPlugin/pub/System/JQueryPlugin/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.methods.js does not exist at /home/foswiki/trunk/core/lib/Foswiki/Contrib/Build.pm line 1508.

It looks like jquery.validate.methods.js may have been renamed jquery.validate.foswiki-methods.js without the MANIFEST being updated.

No. The file is created by the make system by concatenating two others. Will check it in although it is a derived file. We can remove it again once BuildContrib can do things like that.

The buildcontrib can do things like that. All you have to do is override the target in your local build script. However I would be very cautious of requiring make to be present, as IME it isn't or, if it is, it's the wrong version (there are many forms of make)

We can discuss pros and cons of make, gmake, nmake, ant, and a selfmade perl solution 4ever. However, not now - not here. All we need is getting this thing build & released.
