Bug#478064: libjavascript-perl: Please apply fix to allow build against newer spidermonkey

[Mike Hommey]

Package: libjavascript-perl
Version: 1.06-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Please apply the patch attached to this email so that a simple binNMU
will be enough when time will come for libmozjs-dev currently in
experimental to go in unstable, with the goal to reach Lenny.

While for the moment, there is a problem in jsfun.h in the experimental
package preventing libjavascript-perl to be built against it, I can
guarantee this builds fine with a version containing a fixed jsfun.h.

Speaking of which, I built a package built against experimental
libmozjs, available at the following address:

http://people.debian.org/~glandium/mozjs-1.9/libjavascript-perl_1.06-1.1_amd64.changes

Note the build dependency was changed only so that my pbuilder does its
thing alone.

It would be helpful if you could validate this works properly (though
the testsuite seems to indicate so) so that we get confident about the
future transition.

If you need to build the package on i386 or another for testing purpose,
please take the experimental libmozjs-dev package and apply the patch
in [1] to /usr/include/mozjs/jsfun.h.

Feedback about proper or broken functioning would be appreciated ;)

Thanks

Mike
