[SRU] Pegjs should not provide nodejs.

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

[Impact]

* There is no nodejs provided by pegjs, even if the pegjs binary seems to say so.
* There is missing usr/bin/pegjs binary

[Test Case]

 * Use nodejs libraries with just pegjs installed will show this bug (nodejs dependency wrongly satisfied)

[Regression Potential]

 * Really, Really, none.
It will increase uninstallability of riscv64, because nodejs is not built there. But this is really what we want, because no nodejs library can run without a nodejs interpreter.

[Other Info]

 * pegjs in focal provides nodejs breaking the world when installed.
 * I prefer to keep the binary the same as the groovy one, fixing the same bugs fixed in the Debian upload. And described in the Impact section.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

Also pegjs in groovy should be probably hinted to go in release.

Nodejs is not part of riscv64, so pegjs is not migrating because it will make the uninstallability count increase

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

An upload of pegjs to focal-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "Contains packaging changes unrelated to the stated bug".

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

This is the diff I intend to SRU in focal.

Basically its the same as the groovy one.
Restore of a pegjs binary in usr/bin (Debian bug: #959615)
Restore recommendation of javascript-common (Debian bug: #956507)
Drop useless lintian overrides.

Drop nodejs provide and recommend it instead

Hey! Thanks for preparing the SRU! So I think what Steve meant by rejecting the upload is:
1) The addition of javascript-common is not documented anywhere in the SRU, as this feels like a separate change to the bug being fixed here.
2) Restoring of the pegjs binary in usr/bin also seems like a fix for a separate issue, unrelated to 'Pegjs should not provide nodejs.'.

I think the normal procedure here would be to have separate Ubuntu bugs opened for each of those issues (with a separate rationale and test-case section) and added to the .changes file. I guess one might include all that info in this one bug, with separate sections for each change, but that feels a bit less clean.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

For the changelog I would *prefer* that each of the LP bugs have what they actually fix in them. I understand that they're referred to in the previous Debian entries, but the changelog is the primary user-visible documentation of updates and it's nice if it's clear.

It *does* have all the relevant info, though.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Hello Gianfranco, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pegjs into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pegjs/0.10.0-3~ubuntu1.20.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I had to manually install nodejs to make it work, this is a separate debian issue

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722488#20

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

(this issue was related to nodejs not being provided, not about missing binary, so comment #8 #9 #10 are unrelated)

I can confirm the "nodejs" is not provided anymore by this new package.
