I have sat on releasing a lot of this code for years because I wanted
the liza repo to be in a pristine state---tests and all---which
required a great deal of refactoring. Well, that never happened, and
time is up.
LoVullo Associates---my employer---has been purchased by another
company. This means that any agreement with LoVullo regarding
releasing free software is going to have to be re-negotiated with this
new company, and I have no idea how those negotiations will go. So,
I have no choice but to simply release everything in its current state,
or risk it being lost forever.
This represents work over the past 6--7 years, 99.9% of it written by
me. This project has been my baby for quite some time, and has been
through a number of battles with deadlines and other unfortunate
circumstances; the scars show. I also didn't really "know" JS when
starting this project. Perhaps you can help improve upon it.
There are some odds-and-ends that could be committed. And references
to insurance and LoVullo need to be removed to generalize this.
I hope that this will not be the last public commit for this project.
I'll fight the good fight and we'll see where that takes us. Maybe
it'll be easy.
Happy hacking.
* configure.ac (SET_SRCURI): Provide source root to manual.
(--with-srcuri): Add configure option.
* doc/config.texi.in (SET_SRCURI): Add configuration value.
* doc/liza.texi: Add warning if SET_SRCURI is unset when DEVNOTES is set.
In newer versions of node, this flag goes away and it is enabled by
default.
* Makefile.am (test): Add NODE_DESTRUCTURE to mocha invocation.
* configure.ac (NODE, NODE_DESTRUCTURE): Add variables.

Texinfo is the documenation format of the GNU operating system and can
produce output in a variety of useful formats, including info, HTML, and
PDF.
The HTML output is of particular importance here, since Liza is a JavaScript
framework.
``Building'' Liza will not be required to use it; see ease.js for the style
of building that will be used here. In particular: the build process will be
used for minification and the creation of distribution archives, but one can
simply include the source files (using, say, node.js) to use it without
building.
