Hi Jeremy,
I gave up a few times, because the reverse dependencies for it were not
aligned with what was in use in Debian at the time, and gave up.
If there's some nasty NPM job behind, then I probably will just skip the
dashboard, and expect deployment to get the dashboard not from packages.
What is included in the dashboard? Things like https://zuul.openstack.org/ ?
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
