Veracity cannot be packaged for Debian for now due to the dependency on an old, customized SpiderMonkey
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pau Garcia i Quiles <pgqui...@elpauer.org> Date: Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 1:41 AM Subject: SpiderMonkey 8.0 To: veracity-us...@lists.sourcegear.com Hi, I am packaging Veracity for Debian. Veracity bundles several third-party dependencies, which is disallowed by the Debian Development Guidelines. The most troublesome is Spidermonkey: Veracity depends on a very old Spidermonkey (1.8rc1) and applies 3 patches. I have spent a couple of hours trying to port it to SpiderMonkey 8.0 (patch attached) but I've hit some problems in sg_jsglue.c, sg_vc_hooks.c and sg_uridispatch.c. They all depend on jsdate.h and/or other headers which used to be C-only in 1.8rc1 but now they are C++-only. Are there any plans to port Veracity to a modern version of SpiderMonkey? -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
