How to create a build system for number of JS client applications, all using same framework but different combinations of framework parts? This would enable all client applications receive the framework updates automatically, without having to rely on one distribution file, containing all framework abilities (which would be rather sub-optimal).
In best case scenario, the client applications would use the only specific parts (raw, non-minimized files) from the framework project, while when deployed, the application would have only one script containing only the needed functionalities of the framework. Also, if(/when) all this can’t be done automatically, there should be only one “makefile” that would be used for both, loading single files in development and building the single JS file for deployment.
I finally managed to do this with combination of custom buildfiles, custom runtime build system done in PHP, sophisticated JavaScript non-coupling framework and massive Ant build scripts, doing the compiling and deployment. 😛
