oh well, it might require a MIR

Hi, I really don't know if jquery needs some MIR, or it should be demoted to universe.

This is becoming important to fix because e.g. libjs-jquery-scrollto and sigil won't migrate in -release otherwise

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

I don't think that's the case. It seems to me like sigil won't migrate from proposed because libjs-jquery-scrollto won't, which is because it's waiting for libjs-jquery (>= 1.8) and we have 1.7.2.

From my quick look at the state of these packages, it seems like all that would be needed is for someone to do a merge of jquery against Debian unstable, which ships 1.11.3.

A MIR of jquery/nodejs would only be required if some package in main depended on them. Looks like ffmpeg may transitively depend on nodejs to build, but that needs more than just a MIR for nodejs (and I'd argue we probably don't really want to depend on nodejs "just for ffmpeg", if it can be avoided).

Let's discuss this on IRC if required. :)

Hi, unfortunately I fail to understand why a merge is needed, seems that the ubuntu delta can be dropped completely.

The problem is: the new jquery is in main, and build-depends on nodejs, that is in universe.

I don't see how a sync/merge can work, unless we promote the build-dependencies in main.

(sorry if I don't understand completely the problem, I actually try to avoid the MIR situation :) )

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

the idea behind the delta and the merge is to build jquery without all
those nodejs build-deps, so there is no need to pollute main. though now
it's harder since the debian maintainer added more build-deps on node, the
build system changed completely, so it would require some work to drop all
of the nodejs b-deps.

Until the decision is made if a MIR is required or what's happening, I'm unsubscribing the sponsors team.

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

somehow doko synced it, it built and it's now stuck in proposed.

Overall, I think this can be closed.

Thanks to all the parties involved!
