Bug Description

Ubuntu's js2-mode seems to be folloqwing the dormant http://code.google.com/p/js2-mode/, while there is an active and seemingly well-regarded fork at https://github.com/mooz/js2-mode.

The fork has support for modern javascript syntax (e.g. generators, arrow functions) and builtin objects (e.g. console, DataView, Float32Array, etc), and fixes some oddities in the original.

On the other hand it the master branch supports Emacs 24+ only, and the emacs23 branch lags some way behind.

This would appear to be fixed in Wily:

     * New upstream release.
        + Use fork from mooz.
        + Update homepage in debian/control.
        + Remove patch for local variables, not needed anymore.
