Bug#733586: closure-compiler: new upstream version available

[Nicholas D Steeves]

Control: unblock 886411 by -1

Hi Tony and Thomas,

This package came to my attention via #975505, where it was noted that
MathJax2 has had to disable functionality because of too ancient of a
closure-compiler, and at this time it appears that MathJax3 will have to
do the same.

Closure-compiler is a candidate for salvaging:

  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging

The ideal resolution would be for one of the listed Uploaders to resume
maintenance of the package, but orphaning is of course also an option :-)

Hi Pirate!

I noticed that you were able to complete #886411 ITP: node-react using
some other method (perhaps google-closure-compiler-js, or perhaps
disabling functionality?), so I've unset the block relation.  It seemed
worthwhile keep you in the CC list in case you wanted to create a
"switch to closure-compiler" bug, and block it with this one (#733586).


Kind regards,
Nicholas
