Re: [Edbrowse-dev] Update Edbrowse

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe <mengualjeanphi@free.fr>]

I'm going to have alook at this, since at the last time of checking, the 
js 31 package (from experimental) contained a broken symlink in place of 
jsapi.h. Also, do you know of any docs for mozjs 31, as all docs on the 
mozilla website talk about mozjs 24.

The situation of JS support in Mozilla 31 is not clear for me. That is 
why I filled bug 758928 on Debian about libmozjs, so that the maintainer 
could explain to me the situation. We can also write to 
icedove-dev@packages.debian.org to contact the maintainers and asking. 
It's my next task if no an]ier on my "bug" report.

You can see the package with apt-get source edbrowse. I think it ships 
the debian/ dir. See rules file to see what happens. If you want to try 
seeing exactly what does dh-auto_build, you can run pdebuild or 
dpkg-buildpackage and you will see the commands it run (as it displays 
make output).

I do not any particular thing, but I rely on libmozjs24.0 package, which 
seems more reliable. That's also why I wait for September 15th, to see 
if someone has a segfault or if the Debian Release team find a conflict 
with a Mozilla tool (that is why it was removed from Debian). Feedbacks 
will enable to test now it works. Maybe the libmozjs had a successful 
update.
