I left it open because I hope there is some better way of keepign
the version, tarball size and md5sum in-sync. I sort of assumed
that using e.g. md5sum from one package in another would break
things (don't have time to check that at the moment).
Well the md5sum and package size won't change. We kinda to the same thing
with bind and bind-utilities. They are two different builds of the same
tarball.
In a similar situation we have qt5 and QtWebEngine. Although 'webengine' is
available as a separate tarball, we almost always build both at each new
release.
The problem with js is if some package, e.g. seamonkey or thunderbird, does
not keep up with firefox. We also have the issue of polkit still at js60.
I checked into that and polkit does not build with js68. However it does
seem that there is only one polkit file that uses js.
Thanks for the pointer to bind and bind-utils : I'll change JS68 and
packages.
And now I'll note tht it isn't an ideal solution - copying
firefox-size into js68 worked, but only because it was (re) defined
in js68. If I comment that part, js68 does not validate because
firefox-size is not defined (i.e. the definition is local to each
xml file).
What I was hoping for was some way of defining it once, so that both
users can only show the same value. I suppose putting the size and
md5sum in packages could do that (ditto for bind), but that would
look messy.
I'm also grumpy that I've now got to measure js68 when I update
firefox, but at least js68 can be used generally after the next
polkit release happens.
OK, Grumpy. We could try to use common md5sums by creating entities in
general.ent, but that would make things inconsistent. Since jsxx needs
to be rebuilt anyway for timing and build size, is it really that hard
to just copy the md5sum into the page? I double check the md5sums for
all new packages anyway, so a mistake can be caught quickly.
