Unify jquery libraries in devel/sage and data/extcode

[sagetrac-mabshoff]

We currently ship two copies of the jquery javascript library:

• jQuery 1.2.6 - New Wave Javascript - $Rev: 5685 $ in devel/sage-main/sage/dsage/web/static/jquery.js
• jQuery 1.2.3 - New Wave Javascript - $Rev: 4663 $ in data/extcode/notebook/javascript/jquery/jquery.js

But we should on ship one copy.

Cheers,

Michael

I'm not sure what is going on with dsage; someone familiar with dsage will have to look at that.

All that is needed is that dsage needs to change its /static directory to point to local/notebook/javascript/. I'm making this minor since:

1. the small space wasted with duplicated code is not worth the risk of breaking dsage, especially since
2. it seems that the future of dsage is uncertain.

Things work now.

Tim,

Can you comment on this ticket? You probably know more about this than anyone at this point.

dsage is gone, so that doesn't matter. The files in data/extcode/... are used by the old notebook (in sage.server.notebook). Since the old notebook isn't used anymore except in migration to the new one, the files should be safe to delete.

The Sage library doesn't ship jquery. Various packages do, in particular sagenb, Sphinx, matplotlib, ppl, jsmol, IPython and WerkZeug. I don't think it's feasible to unify them, so close this ticket as "wontfix".
