Bug#1036368: ITP: libjs-elasticlunr-js -- Lightweight full-text search engine written in JavaScript



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Zixing Liu <zixing.liu@canonical.com>
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, zixing.liu@canonical.com

* Package name    : libjs-elasticlunr-js
  Version         : 1.0.1
  Upstream Contact: Robert Isaac <robert.isaac@live.com>
* URL             : https://www.npmjs.com/package/elasticlunrjs
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: JavaScript
  Description     : Lightweight full-text search engine written in JavaScript

This package will be needed for rustc where the documentation have a
web-browser-based search system to effectively search through the
documentation.

In Debian, currently the search script is stripped (see:
https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/rust/-/blob/debian/sid/debian/patches/d-0002-mdbook-strip-embedded-libs.patch#L322).
By packaging the missing packages, we could restore the searching system
and providing a better documentation reading/searching experience for the Rust
developers who use Debian.

The package may be maintained by the Debian Javascript Maintainers.
The sponsorship is needed for the initial upload.
