Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2019-11-08 16:23:50 UTC
Spec URL: https://spot.fedorapeople.org/js.spec
SRPM URL: https://spot.fedorapeople.org/js-1.8.5-35.fc30.src.rpm
Description: 
Fedora Account System Username: spot
Koji Rawhide Scratch Build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=38842751

Note: This package was previously in Fedora but was orphaned & retired after Fedora 30. I need it alive for freewrl, so I applied the fix to resolve the FTBFS from Sergey Bostandzhyan.

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2019-11-08 16:24:45 UTC
Description was accidentally omitted. 

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

 - URL is 404 

URL:		http://www.mozilla.org/js/

Use https://developer.mozilla.org/En/SpiderMonkey/1.8.5 ?

 - Missing isa:

Requires:	%{name}%{?_isa} = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}

 - Would be nice to have a short description or link to a bug for each patch to keep track. Won't bother you about it if you don't feel doing it.

 - make -C src install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} → %make_install -C src

 - Not needed anymore unless EPEL:

%ldconfig_scriptlets

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2019-12-09 14:07:00 UTC
All suggested fixes applied.

New SRPM: https://spot.fedorapeople.org/js-1.8.5-36.fc31.src.rpm
New SPEC: https://spot.fedorapeople.org/js.spec

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-12-09 19:07:10 UTC
 - You shouldn't have that second line:

%make_install -C src
make -C src install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}

Only the first is needed.

 - I don't expect this package to be updated but in any case, for future reference, we now forbid to glob the major soname version to avoid unannounced soname bump, be more specific instead:

%{_libdir}/*.so.1*


Package is approved, please fix the aforementioned issue before import.

Is there any reason it can't use a newer version, the 1.8.5 js release is ridiculously out of date and will have no end of CVEs. The newer releases of js as packaged as mozjs<version> with the latest being mozjs68

Yes, mozjs dropped the C API after 1.8.5, it only has C++ support now.

Comment 7 Mattia Verga 2021-07-17 09:20:15 UTC
