The ideal world would be to only backport patches that have already been accepted upstream, but I realize this is infeasible in most of the cases. I'm a bit worried too about patching upstream for new features, but OTOH architecture porting shouldn't be too invasive. In this case, I believe that requiring some kind of upstream liveness check should be enough: as far as there's somebody updating the patches and reacting to requests/bugs, it's fine for me. Hello Luca and Jérémy, We (as I work for imgtec.com as well) will support this patch and it will be submitted upstream. I'll build libv8-3.14 again on mips and mipsel with Jurica's patch posted at: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736332#30 Regards, Aníbal ___ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
