Source: jquery
Version: 1.4.2-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: squeeze patch
In squeeze, Sphinx (documentation generator, which is popular in Python
world) generates JavaScript code that uses the className function, which
was removed in jQuery 1.4.
This is of course a bug in Sphinx that should be fixed (see #629329).
However, the buggy code ended up in (literally) dozens of packages, many
of them being arch:all. Rebuilding them all would be quite painful.
Taking this into account, would you consider patching jQuery in squeeze
to add the function back? Patch is available here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=15;filename=jquery-628642.diff;att=1;bug=629329
Thanks for considering. Still, if you didn't want to implement such
change, that would be fully understandable. :)
