Package: phantomjs Version: 2.0.0+dfsg-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When I updated the git repo for PhantomJS 2 packaging, I did not mean to imply that it was ready to be released. In fact I notified upstream of my attempts at removing the bundled copy of Qt, and they told me it was not a good idea: https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/13727#issuecomment-155693418 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795719#81 "Building PhantomJS with a system-provided stock Qt may *appear* to work, but will break a bunch of stuff that its users depend upon [..] it's probably best, right now, if Debian does not attempt to package PhantomJS at all. Historically, upstreams have been annoyed at Debian packaging that differs significantly from theirs, and this can also seriously confuse and frustrate users. Therefore it's probably not a good idea to keep this package in the current state. At the very least, we *MUST* patch it to remove the --web-security option: https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/13727#issuecomment-155609276 I will also see if I can get the unit tests working; I believe they are not being run at the moment.
