Package: pkg-js-tools
Version: 0.9.53
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to have a test in pkg-js-tools to make sure the
dependencies mentioned in package.json of a module is not differing by
a major version.
Example node-css-loader. See
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=976408#57 for list
dependencies with mismatched versions.
package.json has postcss-modules-extract-imports": "^2.0.0" but
node-postcss-modules-extract-imports in the archive is 3.0.0-1.
In ruby team, gem2deb does this already. It will test if dependencies
mentioned in gemspec is satisfied and fail in case of mismatch. If we
know the mismatch is not a problem, we add a patch to adjust the
required version.
GEM_PATH= ruby2.7 -e gem\ \"faraday\" is how gem2deb tests it.
