I just joined that list.
Welcome!
Marcelo Jorge Vieira is now reviewing a full bunch of patches I
suggest https://github.com/nirgal/javascript-common
Please beware that use of less free services like Github may discourage
some collaboration. I recommend to move Debian work to Alioth instead.
The problem is that we have a 5 year old RC bug in that package: Some
people are complaining that /javascript url might be in use in
userspace, so that javascript-common might break these.
That issue must be solved now!
I disagree: only the severe parts of that bug needs addressing urgently
- i.e. the reasons listed at http://bugs.debian.org/474913#42 for
relaxing the Apache clone of the bug.
First, I'd like to merge bugs #474913 and #553173: One bug is about
apache and the other about lighttpd. That fact that /javascript url
might or not be reserved should be addressed globally IMHO, this is
independant of which server is installed. What do you think of that
proposal?
Those bugs are of different severity for good reason. Before merging,
the severe part of bug#474913 should be first split out. Even when
that's done the remaining bugs can be solved independently.
Only reason I see to merge is to hide the details in order to rush more
than necessary.
Then, we must make a choice whether to use /javascript url or not.
I find it better that we discuss the bugs via the bugreports instead.
$ apt-rdepends -r -f Depends,PreDepends,Recommends javascript-common | grep
'^[^ ]' | sort -
yields a very impressive list of packages. Many of these do assume
/usr/share/javascript is available at /javascript url. Changing that
looks unreasonable.
That's a reason to not rush resolutions to the URL path bug which is
independent from Apache snippet change bugs even if somewhat related.
What do you think would be the best way to unblock javascript-common
package?
To address only the severe part of bug#474913, and then lower severity.
Or even better to split the parts, and solve the severe one.
