I know an important work was done to work on Debian with js, and I waited for a release to package it as I didn't want to package a dev branch. Given that's not done and the freeze comes soon, I wonder if it would be possible to apply a patch, for Debian, to 4.10. Could you tell me if a patch is easy to do, e.g. a backport patch which contains diff needed to make js work as expected? Or differences in this matter are so big? What are the changes the patch should include (what files, I mean)?

We've basically rewritten large parts of the code to update to mozjs 24, but we were waiting to hear back from you on why edbrowse still fails to compile correctly using the Debian packaged version. As previously mentioned on this list, this is why we've not released the next version yet. Have you managed to get the current development version of edbrowse to run when compiled against the Debian build of mozjs? Any input on this would be much appreciated as I think I can speak for all of us when I say we'd like to get a release out before the Debian freeze. Cheers, Adam.

I had not seen the feedback expected. So I build immediately the dev release again, I upload to experimental repo, I make it test on debian-a11y ML and tell you on 1st week in September the results. Then, as soon as there's a release, I upload to sid and speed the process.

It will be available in some hours, to let the time mirror pool to see it. You can test it yourself, of course, from experimental. It builds properly with libmozjs24 which contains jsapi.h and what is needed. However, I would like to inform you that this package is not maintained so far, so the jsapi.h seems available rather in icedove-dev package (which contains headers for icedove). It means that, for any reasons, Edbrowse will not build properly against JS stack 31. I don't think it's a problem for freeze, but maybe we should consider testing this to prepare the future? After checking, freeze happens on November. So: 1. Do you want now to work on compatibility with JS 31? 2. Otherwise, I propose we wait end of September to be sure Edbrowse builds on any architecture without problem. Next, you could release in 1st 15 days of October. Then I could introduce the released package in sid (October, 15th), and it willl go to testing (and be frozen) on Octoberb 25th. Does it fit? Do you want a more restricted schedule?

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. > After checking, freeze happens on November. So: > 1.

Do you want a more restricted schedule? The timings sound fine to me provided the new edbrowse package runs correctly. Incidentally, I'd be interested to see how you built this as the last time I tried against a Debian packaged mozjs it segfaulted as soon as you attempted to run it. Cheers, Adam.

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.

If mozjs 24 is going to be in the next release of Debian then we probably want to make edbrowse work correctly with this mozjs, then look at the later versions of the mozilla js code as and when they become properly documented and released.
