Bug#755468: closure-compiler: compilation with closure-compiler requires some *-extern.js files

[Dominique Dumont]

Package: closure-compiler
Version: 20130227+dfsg1-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

To answer the following question from your TODO.Debian: 
"what about the js code in externs/ ? is it needed?"

lib-js-prettify package requires a compilation with closure. Its makefile
contains lines like:

@$(CLOSURE_COMPILER) --js src/prettify.js \
            --externs tools/closure-compiler/console-externs.js \
            --externs tools/closure-compiler/amd-externs.js \
            --define IN_GLOBAL_SCOPE=true \
            --output_wrapper='!function(){%output%}()' \
            > $(TAR_ROOT)/prettify.js

@$(CLOSURE_COMPILER) --js src/run_prettify.js \
            --externs tools/closure-compiler/console-externs.js \
            --externs tools/closure-compiler/amd-externs.js \
            --define IN_GLOBAL_SCOPE=false \
            --output_wrapper='!function(){%output%}()' \
            > $(TAR_ROOT)/run_prettify.js

$(CLOSURE_COMPILER) --js $$f --externs js-modules/externs.js 

Simply removing the --externs options does not work: the compilation
fails.

Could you provide these extern files with closure-compiler (or its 
lib package) ? (I will patch the above lines so the extern files are
found no matter where they will land)

Thanks
