Bug Description
mozjs
=====
The mozjs source package is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from Firefox 4 (?)
https:/
That makes it very out of date. It has been replaced by mozj52 (corresponds with Firefox 52 ESR) which is still supported by Mozilla.
It has 3 reverse dependencies in Ubuntu, none of which are very important any more and all of which have been removed from Debian Testing so let's remove them too:
couchdb
gxine
oolite
$ reverse-depends src:oolite
Reverse-Recommends
------------------
* games-finest (for oolite)
* games-finest-light (for oolite)
* games-simulation (for oolite)
* games-strategy (for oolite)
* gnustep-games (for oolite)
DONE - mozjs24
==============
mozjs24 corresponds with Firefox 24 and is also unsupported.
It has no reverse dependencies in Ubuntu.
Remaining versions of mozjs in Ubuntu bionic
=======
* mozjs52 – supported until June 2018, used by GNOME 3.26 and 3.28
* mozjs38 – used by cjs and an optional package from libproxy, see LP: #1728184
