Package: libjs-openlayers
Version: 2.13.1+ds2-6
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
According to the openlayers website (https://openlayers.org/) about previous
versions v2: v2.13.1 (July 2013 i.e. really old),
the first stable release of v3 came out on the 29th Aug 2014, with v6.1.1 out
now I was wondering why we have such an old
version of the libs in our repository.
I have just started using this package and so haven't noticed too many problems
apart from an old API and a warning in firefox:
.controllers/Controllers is deprecated. Do not use it for UA detection.
Maybe I will find more problems as I continue working with this package but for
now I was just wondering why this package hasn't
had a new version uploaded for so long.
Best,
Jack

Because packaging the Node.js based Openlayers 3+ (and especially its
dependency chain) is too painful, I've given up on ever packaging a
newer Openlayers as long as it's based on Node.js.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/07/msg00026.html
libjs-openlayers is only kept in Debian because it has reverse dependencies.
You should just use the upstream releases of Openlayers if you need
something newer.
Kind Regards,
Bas
