[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#516259: Bug#516259: libjs-yui: Please package yui 2.7.0

[Thomas Koch]

Hi Jaldhar,

I tried my best to do a 2.7.0b package of YUI and put the result on
mentors.debian[1]. My GIT repository is available at
git://koch.ro/git/debian-packaging/yui

I've updated the YUI version by
- git checkout upstream
- rm -rf *
- cd .. && tar -xf yui_2.7.0b.orig.tar.gz
- cd yui && git add * && git commit
- git checkout master
- git merge upstream

The merge from upstream actually did not work initially, since the last
update from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0 wasn't done by a merge, but by separately
putting the new files once in master and once in upstream. So GIT did
not found the right common parent of the two branches.

I worked this out by not "resolving" the merge conflicts, but by simply
deleting all yui files, extracting yui once again and commiting the
result. From now on, it should be possible to just merge from upstream,
if new YUI versions come out.

Hopefully, you can use my package. Please don't hesistate to point out
the errors I surely made.
