[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#743152: doesn't ship the version required for tilemill

[Antoine Beaupré]

Package: node-bones
Version: 2.0.1+ds1-4
Severity: normal

As part of the gargantuan effort to ship tilemill in Debian, I am
struggling with this package, which was, I assume, uploaded exactly
for tilemill (because it has no other reverse dependencies).

It turns out that tilemill depends explicitely on version 1.3.27,
while Debian ships the 2.0 release, which is actually *older* that the
1.3 series:

https://github.com/developmentseed/bones/releases

I have seen this strangeness before, in fact in tilemill itself:

https://github.com/mapbox/tilemill/issues/2258

So I am not sure how to deal with this. Maybe a removal from unstable
and a new upload of 1.3 would avoid an epoch change...

Thanks for looking into this.
