[Pkg-javascript-devel] New version of coffeescript required

[Nicolas Mora]

Hello,

Sorry if I ask a question that was already discussed before, I'm kinda 
new in Debian javascript team.

In order to create the Debian package redux, I need the following 
unresolved dependencies:
redux
├─ loose-envify (^1.4.0)                          node-loose-envify 
(1.3.1+dfsg1-1)
   └─ js-tokens (^3.0.0 || ^4.0.0)                   node-js-tokens 
(2.0.0-1)
     └─ coffeescript (^2.2.0)
└─ symbol-observable (^1.2.0)                     node-symbol-observable 
(1.0.4-2)

I found out the debian package coffeescript but the version number made 
me wondered why is it still in the version 1.12, last upload on june 
2018, when the current upstream version was 2.3.1 at that time?

Is, in your knowledge, the version 1.12 specifically required, or can we 
upgrade to coffeescript 2.3.2?

If so, maybe it would be possible to have both versions in Debian 
repository.

The new upstream package was significally cleaned since 1.12 because 
there is no more build script.
I haven't figured out if the tests can pass with current Debian packages 
though. [1]

Thanks for your feedback.
