Well, I've done some tests here and I think I have a package that builds. I've updated pagure to an intermediary version, 2.6, and the package builds fine on pbuilder/cowbuilder using the latest unstable. You can find it here: http://git.sergiodj.net/?p=debian/pagure-new.git;a=summary Can you give it a try? I think we can go with that (even for stretch), if you are OK with it. The package contains bundled JS libraries, and minifies them during the build, so it's not perfect in this aspect. But we can fix this later, when we have more time. >> Something really concerning me is the fact that pagure keeps adding JS >> dependencies that are either not packaged on Debian, or that are >> packaged as part of another, bigger package (usually some big ruby >> extension or so).

Right, that's nice indeed, but it demands work anyway... But it's really good that grunt and gulp are now available.
