Hi,
you are listed as the last uploader that touched the package in
debian/changelog, thus I'm writing to you. Feel free to forward it to
another address if you are the wrong contact person.
After recent upgrade of libmozjs to SpiderMonkey 17 in sid, edbrowse FTBFS.
I downloaded the latest stable edbrowse version from the upstream site
(3.4.9) in hope to fix it, but the problem persisted in this version
too as well as in the latest development snapshot (p201303161451).
Checking out the latest revision (2013-04-23) out of the upstream git
repository also didn't help. Instead of patching the source to work
with newer JavaScript library, I opted to revert the Build-Depends to
SpiderMonkey 1.8.5.
Please find attached .debian.tar.gz and and .dsc for my local build of
edbrowse 3.4.9, as well as debdiff against 3.4.8-2.
Interestingly, the upstream uses git at git://github.com/CMB/edbrowse.git
while Debian packaging is kept in SVN.
P.S. I know, a private e-mail is not appropriate venue for messages
like this, but I don't like Debian BTS, to put it mildly.
With best regards,
Sergey Romanov
