Help providing the minify files

[sufuf3]

Hi @sourcelair ,
We are cdnjs team, we're going to host this library.
Could you please provide xterm.min.js, xterm.min.css and the minify files under dist/addons?

If there is any suggestion, please let me know.
Thank you.

@sufuf3 We actually plan to remove dist/ all together as built (unminified) files are published to npm in lib/ (see #420 for more context).

You could probably write a script pretty easily that clones the git repo at a release tag, runs npm i && npm run build and then minifies ./build/* with your library of choice. FYI 2.4.0 is now the latest.

@parisk maybe we should add a minify gulp task and upload those assets to releases for use cases like this and to enable quick download without a package manager?

Hi @sufuf3, thanks for offering to host the library 👍 .

As @Tyriar already said, we plan to remove the dist/ directory, but what we plan to do is create an extra repository to keep these files (as described in #406).

Would it be OK for you if these files resided in https://github.com/xtermjs/dist (or something like that), instead of this directory?

If yes, I can move with setting this up immediately.

Another solution (as @Tyriar proposed) would be uploading an archive of all build artefacts in GitHub Releases.

Would this work as well?

Now, we will host this library from this GitHub repository and use minify tool by uglify-js.
When this library change to another repository, we will update the file structure and auto-update info.
Thank you very much.

I think we can close in favor of #406 then as you have a workaround, thanks for including in cdnjs!
