Bug#769033: pre-unblock: php-horde-editor/2.0.4+upstream0-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Dear busy team,
(Excuse my poor english).
I just filled #769031 in php-horde-editor.
Some context:
- Since some month, HTML composing in IMP, the Horde webmail, is broken (plain text works)
- This is due to some big changes to ckeditor 4.x
- Horde upstream include ckeditor 3.6.6 in their source
- I tried to fix this without luck. Other persons tried also.
- According to Horde devs:
> Using Ckeditor 4.x will only be possible when all of IMP's javascript
> code interfacing with Ckeditor is rewritten.
I see 3 possible solutions:
- release Horde in Debian without HTML composing -> This would be odd
- port IMP JS to CKeditor 4.x. I don't have the knowledge, help welcomed
- use the included CKeditor 3.6.x . This requires copyright review and possible repacking
- drop Horde from testing altogether. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
As jessie is frozen, I need some advice. My choice is #3, which will provide good user experience matching upstream's. But this will take some time to do the copyright review (probably using unminified versions, slower).
