Hi all, We had the privilege to hold the Toronto BSP in the Mozilla offices here, and our host (in CC) was kind enough to take a quick look at this issue with the Firefox package. He told me to CC him so that he could look into the issue.
So to summarize for Will: there's a release-critical bug filed against Firefox in Debian right now, which is fully visible here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=788721 The problem is that the Firefox source code bundles copies of compiled of Javascript files that are missing the source version. In Debian that's considered a copyright issue as compiled Javascript files are like compiled binaries and not sufficient to work on as source code. We need to find where that source is, in other words, for those files. Jonas created a short list of the affected files, below. We'd be really grateful if you could take a look at this. Thanks! A. -- It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber. - Unknown On 2019-04-07 12:01:39, Jonas Smedegaard wrote: > control: reassign 788721 firefox-esr > control: retitle 788721 firefox-esr: Some sources are missing > > This bug affects firefox-esr in testing: > > At least these non-source files are still problematic: > > js/src/octane/typescript-input.js > js/src/octane/box2d.js > third_party/python/mock-1.0.0/html/_static/underscore.js > third_party/python/mock-1.0.0/html/_static/jquery.js > browser/components/translation/cld2/cld-worker.js > browser/extensions/pocket/content/panels/js/vendor/jquery.tokeninput.min.js > browser/extensions/pocket/content/panels/js/vendor/jquery-2.1.1.min.js > layout/mathml/tests/stretchy-and-large-operators.js > > Other of the previously reported files may still be relevant as well, > and possibly additional files are similarly problematic (indicated by > doing a "find -name '*.min.js'" without examining further). > > - Jonas > > -- > * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt > * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ > > [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
