[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#750716: coffeescript: FTBFS against uglify 2.x series - Cannot call method 'parse' of undefined

[Leo Iannacone]

Source: coffeescript
Severity: important


Dear maintainer,

your package fails to build from source with uglify version 2.4.13-1,
which is now in experimental and will be soon migrated to unstable.

Here a snip of buildlog:

chmod +x bin/cake
bin/cake build
bin/cake build
bin/cake build:browser

/tmp/buildd/coffeescript-1.4.0/Cakefile:139
 code = uglify.gen_code(uglify.ast_squeeze(uglify.ast_mangle(parser.parse(code
                                                                    ^

E: Failed autobuilding of package


However, according with latest release of coffescript, it should be compatible
with uglifyjs 2.x:

Thanks in advance,
