Dear maintainer,
Source package chromium build-depends on uglifyjs.terser which will soon
be dropped.
Please instead build-depend on package terser, and use the executable
"terser".
Kind regards,
Jonas
I'm going to add a build-dep on "terser | uglifyjs.terser", since the
terser package is still only in experimental. However, I'm concerned
about the uglifyjs.terser executable going away; what is the timeline
for that? It would be ideal if the /usr/bin/uglifyjs.terser symlink
remained at least for the bookworm release, so users don't need a
special patch when doing bullseye-backports. After bookworm, users can
switch to /usr/bin/terser and not need to patch anything for bookworm
backports.
