Hi Caleb,

I just arrived at a working patch for terser-webpack-plugin to
circumvent breaking changes in node-terser 5 which is required by the
package. The available version of node-terser in debian is 4 which is
behind the terser package upstream.

This patch is an ad-hoc fix for the bug pending the node-terser
package is updated to a compatible version.

This _relates_ to NodeJS module terser, but is it most specifically tied
to terser, webpack, or terser-webpack-plugin?

You post the above to bug#1004471 which is tied to Debian package
node-terser, but your presented patch seems not for terser but for
something else - webpack or terser-webpack-plugin.

Helpful if you can clarify further what fixes what (not only for what
end goal).

Hi Jonas,





Thanks!

This affects terser-webpack-plugin which affects webpack 5. This patch relates to *terser-webpack-plugin* (not terser itself) to circumvent breaking changes in terser 5. The current terser-webpack-plugin has been adapted to use terser 5 while the version available to it is terser 4. The patch makes sure terser 4 continues to work with the package while not preventing terser 5 also.
