Hello _javascript_ Team,
I have a package pending with a Request for Sponsorship (my first package), and I am blocked with the following lintian errors:
1. A source-is-missing error:
js/jquery.flot.js line length is 3134 characters (>512)
Any tips on a good way to correct this?
-------------------------------------------
2. Two source-is-missing errors that are false positives because of a long line in the source file.
But if I create a
debian/rutorrent.lintian-overrides
with the contents:
rutorrent source: source-is-missing plugins/extsearch/init.js
then I get an error:
rutorrent: malformed-override Override of source-is-missing for package type source (expecting binary)
How can I successfully override these?
-------------------------------------------
3. embedded-_javascript_-library warnings because upstream has packaged their dependencies. The dependency versions are very old, for example:
Based on the md5sum of jquery.js, upstream is using jQuery v1.11.2.
libjs-jquery is 3.1.1-2, two major versions ahead, thus I doubt I can drop in this replacement and test thoroughly enough to ship it with any confidence that there won't be many run-time bugs.
And if I can't drop in a replacement, I would feel quite a hindrance to the developer bothering him with updating his _javascript_ dependencies that currently work just fine.
I have noticed that, for example, the "wordpress" package has overrides:
# Opportunistic replacement is in place but the Debian version does
# not match the wordpress version
wordpress: embedded-_javascript_-library usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.form.js please use libjs-jquery-form
wordpress: embedded-_javascript_-library usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.form.min.js please use libjs-jquery-form
...
Is it acceptable for me to do the same, at least for the time being?
