LINK: AutoPacker - JavaScript compression for the lazy.

[-Lost]

This was in a 9 Rules feed that I just noticed today. Might be of some
use. Developed in PHP, but I'm sure it could easily be ported.

Dean Edward's packer is based on RegExp analysis and it is quite easy
to trick in edge cases. That was my experience anyway.

I was completely unaware.

What's the chance of seeing an automated solution using your
javascript::Minifier?

I've not a clue as to how to modify your module to do that unless a PHP
script calling a Perl script could be considered elegant.

I must be sufficient for many people because it is popular.

I won't be supplying this. The hard part is the logic inside the
javascript::Minifier program. There are many ways to package it for
use and every developer probably needs a different system.

I can't guarantee that javascript::Minifier is perfect.

I don't think it would be a problem.

A minifier should only be called infrequently (preferably when the
site is deployed to the server).
