Bring back terser-webpack-plugin from commit c52136c051 and re-enable
it. It builds the autogenerated dist/index.js.LICENSE.txt which is quite
important for shipping distribution packages -- c-{podman,machines} both
do this.
Backport 95021c336e
to make sure that the webpack for the release tarball is *actually*
built in production mode.
We don't need to explicitly mention TerserJSPlugin any more (from commit
6b8611), as webpack 5 can now extend the `minimizer:` list with the
special `...` syntax.
This gets rid of several `npm install` warnings:
deprecated chokidar@2.1.8: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies.
deprecated resolve-url@0.2.1: https://github.com/lydell/resolve-url#deprecated
deprecated urix@0.1.0: Please see https://github.com/lydell/urix#deprecated
deprecated fsevents@1.2.13: fsevents 1 will break on node v14+ and could be using insecure binaries. Upgrade to fsevents 2.
as well as 10 MB of node_modules.
Fixes these `npm install` warnings:
> deprecated babel-eslint@10.1.0: babel-eslint is now @babel/eslint-parser. This package will no longer receive updates.
> deprecated eslint-loader@4.0.2: This loader has been deprecated. Please use eslint-webpack-plugin
This field was introduced in
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4964 as "purely
informational for now", and isn't even parsed by cockpit.
package.json's version would only be relevant for publishing NPM
modules, but cockpit pages are not that.
Neither starter-kit itself nor our derived projects like cockpit-podman
or cockpit-composer have ever maintained these two fields, so just get
rid of them.
This makes the git tag the single source of truth for the version
number.
Fixes#200
Without that, `npm run watch` is entirely silent after the first build,
and does not give any feedback when a build starts, and even more
importantly, when it's done.
