[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#928827: libjs-jquery: Minified version of jquery.js (jquery.min.js) throws syntax error

[Harald Oest]

Package: libjs-jquery
Version: 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2+deb8u6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the minified jquery library ('/usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js') crashes with error 'SyntaxError: nothing to repeat' (as reported by Firefox JS console).

Step to reproduce this behaviour is to include the library and initialize jquery, e.g.

<script src='jquery.min.js' />
<script>
   $(function() {
       console.log( "Hi, i'm jquery!" );
   });
</script>

The not-minified version ('/usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.js') works just well.

Bests

Harald
