Description: <description here>
JavaScript is the Netscape-developed object scripting language used in millions
of web pages and server applications worldwide. Netscape's JavaScript is a
superset of the ECMA-262 Edition 3 (ECMAScript) standard scripting language,
with only mild differences from the published standard.

Typo/spelling nitpick in the description, otherwise seems fine. It would be good to know whether %check could be added (as used in the mozjs17 packaging).

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

Issues:
=======
- Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
  Note: Unversioned so-files directly in %_libdir.
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#DevelPackages

Not a problem in this case (or at least, is consistent with mozjs17).

mozjs24's test suite is failing. I do not know what to make of it because I am not familiar with this package. I only built it in passing because I noticed that gjs master needs it.

Comment 3 Debarshi Ray 2014-01-10 15:16:09 UTC
I am also unsure about the licensing. mozjs17 uses "or" to combine the multiple licenses which indicates that it falls under "dual licensing scenarios" [1] and not "multiple licensing scenarios". However I do not know if this is true because LICENSE only talks about MPLv2.0 but there is thing called "Secondary License(s)" in the text.

Same applies for mozjs24.

Comment 4 David King 2014-01-10 16:06:32 UTC
The MPLv2.0 in the tag should be fine, as it is the "effective" licence of the binary package and most restrictive license of the included files (and the one provided in the tarball):

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ#What_is_.22effective_license.22_and_do_I_need_to_know_that_for_the_License:_tag.3F

MPLv2 is nicer that the MPLv1.1, and automatically compatible with the LGPL and GPL unless the "Secondary Licences" exclusion is used (which it is not, in this case). The GPLv3+ and LGPL2+ files (1 of each licence) in the tarball are not included in the binary package, just used during testing and to create some Unicode data, so I do not think that anything other than MPLv2.0 is necessary.

mozjs24 is required for updating 0ad. See bug 1100875

*** Bug 1100875 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 11 adam.saunders 2014-05-28 16:15:43 UTC
As Debarshi has mentioned, the latest release of the game 0ad depends on mozjs24. Any chance that this bug could be reopened for packaging mozjs24 for Fedora 20? With Fedora 21 still several months away, I fear that Fedora may stay behind on 0ad developments. 

The next 0ad alpha release, which could very well happen a few weeks after Fedora 21 goes stable, might then require a newer versions of mozjs. This could lead us back to the same unfortunate situation.

Thank you very much for any efforts that could be made on this issue.
