[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#848507: node-acorn: Acorn does not build walk

[Ross Gammon]

Package: node-acorn
Version: 4.0.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to package node-bluebird, and I was very glad to see your work on
acorn, and to see it make it into the archive. Acorn is needed to build
bluebird.

Unfortunately, bluebird cannot find "walk" which is part of acorn.

According to acorn's package.json, walk is built with "rollup -c
rollup/config.walk.js" and ends up in "dist/walk.js".

Unfortunately, rollup is not yet packaged for Debian, although some packaging
has been started:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-javascript/node-rollup.git/

I hope that once rollup makes it into Debian, that you will build walk for me
in acorn.

Regards,

Ross
