Hello JavaScript Team, I have a package pending with a Request for Sponsorship (my first package), and I am blocked with the following lintian errors:
1. A source-is-missing error: js/jquery.flot.js line length is 3134 characters (>512) This one occurs because the library flot (https://github.com/flot/flot), which does not have a later release from the included release in 2014, has an inlined function of 3134 characters: https://github.com/flot/flot/blob/master/jquery.flot.js Any tips on a good way to correct this? ------------------------------------------- 2. Two source-is-missing errors that are false positives because of a long line in the source file. But if I create a debian/rutorrent.lintian-overrides with the contents: rutorrent source: source-is-missing plugins/extsearch/init.js then I get an error: rutorrent: malformed-override Override of source-is-missing for package type source (expecting binary) How can I successfully override these? ------------------------------------------- 3. embedded-javascript-library warnings because upstream has packaged their dependencies. The dependency versions are very old, for example: Based on the md5sum of jquery.js, upstream is using jQuery v1.11.2. libjs-jquery is 3.1.1-2, two major versions ahead, thus I doubt I can drop in this replacement and test thoroughly enough to ship it with any confidence that there won't be many run-time bugs. And if I can't drop in a replacement, I would feel quite a hindrance to the developer bothering him with updating his JavaScript dependencies that currently work just fine. I have noticed that, for example, the "wordpress" package has overrides: # Opportunistic replacement is in place but the Debian version does # not match the wordpress version wordpress: embedded-javascript-library usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.form.js please use libjs-jquery-form wordpress: embedded-javascript-library usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.form.min.js please use libjs-jquery-form ... Is it acceptable for me to do the same, at least for the time being? ------------------------------------------- Package can be seen here: https://mentors.debian.net/package/rutorrent and the associated RFS: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849521
