No, that is not how a transition is supposed to work. Do you expect
maintainer of nodejs package to fix all issues of all packages using
nodejs by themselves when updating nodejs versions?
You are deliberately taking an extreme case to fulfill your narrative. I
would not fit nodejs and chai in the same basket.
I did not even get heads up with webmock transition in ruby team. It was
right away FTBFS and autoremoval from testing for packages failing to
build with webmock 3.
And?
I can try and help, but as maintainer of libjs-fetch, it is your
responsibility to fix issues of your package when dependencies change.
We are talking about a *test* dependencies which now makes the build
fail after a major version bump. It makes sense to expect more
information from the corresponding maintainer.
Should we expect every single maintainer affected by an FTBFS to go read
the release notes of chai in order to figure what broke between version
3 and 4. I am very skeptical about this.
I meant context about why the package now FTBFS. I understand this is a
transition and I don't think uploading to unstable is wise before FTBFS
issues such as this one are fixed. Is there an urgency in having chai
4.x in testing/unstable?
Indeed, that is why it is uploaded first to experimental and giving
heads up to packages affected by this transition. We can definitely wait
for a reasonable time before uploading to unstable.
Which is appreciated.
1. chai itself is FTBFS with nodejs 6
That's unfortunate indeed.
2. we generally want to ship the latest versions
But not systematically.
3. Some packages are already starting to require newer versions of chai,
for example node-yargs (whose tests are disabled currently).
It makes sense to disable them if they specifically require chai >= 4.
You could ask upstream to move to chai 4 and take their help. Or you
could also disable tests.
Disabling the tests would be a serious downgrade considering testing is
currently working, unlike node-yargs. I am seriously uncomfortable with
this proposal.
I can ask upstream, though chai is officially pinned at version 2.x there.
