copied!<p>I've found these package managers for in-browser javascript:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/kriszyp/cpm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CPM</a> (CommonJS package manager), focused on Dojo packages, with an archive at <a href="http://packages.dojofoundation.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://packages.dojofoundation.org/</a> (about 60 packages). CPM augments the CommonJS format with a <a href="http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Packages/Mappings/C" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mappings field</a> to describe how modules from dependent packages can be require()d</li> <li>Caolan's <a href="http://jamjs.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jam</a>, whose archive is at <a href="http://jamjs.org/packages/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jamjs.org/packages/</a>. Here is the <a href="http://jamjs.org/docs#Developing_packages" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jam packaging guide</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://enderjs.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ender</a> piggybacks on <a href="http://npmjs.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">npm</a> for package management, and provides a client that looks like AMD (I'm not sure about AMD compatibility, which according to a bug report is left up to each package). Here are the Ender <a href="http://enderjs.com/#publishing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">packaging docs</a>. Here are <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/ender" rel="nofollow noreferrer">packages with the ender keyword</a>. Ender doesn't focus on packaging existing libraries, though its Jeesh starter pack is a modular, mostly-compatible replacement for jQuery.</li> </ul> <p>Most of these can publish in the <a href="https://github.com/amdjs/amdjs-api/wiki/AMD" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AMD format</a> for browser loaders, and can be loaded by <a href="http://requirejs.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RequireJS</a>. They also tend to use the <a href="http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Packages" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CommonJS package format</a> (also used by npm) for their package.json metadata.</p> <p>I also found <a href="http://readthedocs.org/docs/xstatic/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">XStatic</a>, which seems to be a less-active version of fanstatic, and like fanstatic wraps the libraries in Python packages. It has the same limitation (versions tend to lag), but writing a wrapper package seems simple enough that I can bake my own updates. </p> <p>BPM and fanstatic are aware of non-js assets and can merge or minify CSS.</p>
