Is anyone in the javascript team up for packaging this? It appears to
available in npm, fwiw.
Enigmail is now using eslint upstream as part of the test suite (they've
switched to it from jshint to avoid the crappy jshint license), and i'd
love to be able to run the full test suite from within debian during
enigmail package builds.
