[MIR] gjs

[Jeremy Bícha]

Availability
============
Co-maintained with Debian GNOME. We would be in sync except Debian is in release freeze with GNOME 3.22. Built for all supported architectures.

Rationale
=========
Required for gnome-shell. It is also used by these apps which might be in a default Ubuntu install.
* gnome-characters
* gnome-documents
* gnome-maps
* gnome-sushi
* gnome-weather

Security
========
No known security issues

Quality assurance
=================
- Ubuntu Desktop Bugs is subscribed to this package.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gjs
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A"gjs"

Upstream tests are run during the build but test failures are currently ignored (dh_auto_test || true). I will change that once 17.10 development starts since it looks like the issue that caused the tests to fail is fixed now.

Autopkgtests pass except on s390x

https://ci.debian.net/packages/g/gjs

Dependencies
============
The only binary universe dependency is mozjs38 (LP: #1683937) See that MIR for more info.

Standards compliance
====================
3.9.8

Maintenance
===========
- Actively developed upstream
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gjs

Debian packaging uses svn, but we're hoping to convert to git this year (which will allow for Ubuntu branches):

(Note that that the Ubuntu package is 1.48

Milestoning so I don't forget it...

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

gjs is also something Javascript-related; given how related it is to the previous moxjs request, I think it would still benefit a security review.

[Emily Ratliff (emilyr)]

Security Team ack with caveats while we work on security support strategy with Desktop team.

MIR approved.
