debian packaging [meta] about iotjs

[rzr]

FYI: The status of the iotjs source package
in Debian's testing distribution has changed.

Previous version: 1.0-1
Current version: 1.0-2

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/iotjs

It's still outdated, I'll resume works once jerry 2.x is merged.

[galpeter]

AFAIK the Jerry 2.3+ version was merged yesterday.

[rzr]

Please merge this one ASAP:

#1944

Then I can patch downstream using gbp pq.

Regards

[rzr]

FYI 1.0 has been updated

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/iotjs

Feel free to close this issue or keep it open ,
If there is no official release planned
I'd like to release a "final" snapshot version based on master.

[rzr]

I am consider to release a snapshot package to fix CVE:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/iotjs

BTW please review pending PR starting with:

#1923

[rzr]

Update:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1184873/accepted-iotjs-10715-1-source-into-unstable/

Once related changes are merged I am considering to add generic profiles for next snapshot release

[rzr]

Update:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1186717/iotjs-10715-1-migrated-to-testing/

It would help to tag a new release once those pending patches are merged:

https://github.com/jerryscript-project/iotjs/pulls

[rzr]

Is a new @JerryScript release planned soon?

one that ship:

jerryscript-project/jerryscript@edab196

to fix

https://bugs.debian.org/977736

Latest is 6 months old

https://github.com/jerryscript-project/jerryscript/tags

Ideally it should be then also updated in iotjs, then I will refresh this PR

#1953

[akosthekiss]

• JerryScript release: summon @dbatyai @rerobika @ossy-szeged
• Debian bug: IMNSHO the bug report is invalid as iotjs does not build or use the command line tool of jerryscript, thus it cannot be affected by its vulnerability

[rzr]

Please can anyone ping @akosthekiss to merge:

#1923

It will help to fix:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/iotjs

[rzr]
