Package: node-xmlhttprequest Version: 1.5.0-1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch saucy
node-xmlhttprequest is present but uninstallable on a number of Debian architectures that lack nodejs. There is no point shipping it on these architectures, and it introduces noise for anything trying to do dependency consistency checks. While it would be possible to fix this by explicitly limiting node-xmlhttprequest's architecture list, this would require keeping that in sync with nodejs over time; so it's better to add an artificial build-dependency on nodejs to ensure that the package will harmlessly enter a dependency-wait state when it isn't available. You'll probably need to get an ftpmaster to manually remove the old binaries after uploading this. * Artificially build-depend on nodejs, to ensure that this package only builds on architectures where nodejs is available. diff -Nru node-xmlhttprequest-1.5.0/debian/control node-xmlhttprequest-1.5.0/debian/control --- node-xmlhttprequest-1.5.0/debian/control 2013-05-18 20:41:23.000000000 +0100 +++ node-xmlhttprequest-1.5.0/debian/control 2013-10-04 16:44:42.000000000 +0100 @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ Mike Gabriel <sunwea...@debian.org>, Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.0.0), + nodejs, Standards-Version: 3.9.4 Homepage: http://github.com/driverdan/node-xmlhttprequest Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/node-xmlhttprequest.git Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
