Awesome. :) I should write more blog posts, because this feedback is really useful. For the record, it was this one: http://retout.co.uk/blog/2014/08/28/pump.io-update-1 > node-iconv-lite > That package is quite difficult to deal with - copyright issues, lots of > files to be downloaded and rebuilded.

I know that iconv-lite claims to be "faster"... on casual inspection I didn't think it was impossible to package, but if it's easy to patch in plain iconv and avoid waiting for the NEW queue, I'm going to do that. I think this mostly affects node-encoding, which I haven't looked at yet because I thought I was blocked by iconv-lite. > moment > a must ! > libjs-moment is useful as well as node-moment. > Feel welcome to package moment independently - it is not trivial code, > it is not small code, it deserves to be in its own package. That's good to hear - I've filed an ITP. I'm not planning on packaging moment-timezone if I can avoid it. Looks like I'll have to bypass the grunt build system, and won't be able to run the tests because they depend on nodeunit. :( -- Tim Retout <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
