Hi, I just realised that one of my packages does not migrate to testing due to its dependency from r-cran-v8 and in turn from libv8-devel. I realised that while libv8 has 3 security bugs which are set to stretch-ignore (#760385, #773623, #773671 - should this somehow also be set to buster-ignore??? - I had no idea that we ignore CVEs at all but anyway) it probably can not migrate to testing since it does not even build:
#853512 libv8-3.14: ftbfs with GCC-7 This bug is RC since 6 months but there is no response from any uploader. So I tried to clone the repository from Salsa and realised that there is none at the place I would have expected (https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/libv8). Is there any other place (besides digging into Alioth archives where I could find the repository?) I admit I'm not motivated to find out how to restore old repositories but would rather use gbp import-dscs --ignore-repo-config --debsnap --pristine-tar libv8 instead. Any information about the status of this package would be really welcome. However, when reading https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773671#59 it might rather the best idea to remove this lib from Debian at all and I need to see how I can avoid depending from this package. Kind regards Andreas. PS: Please CC me.
