[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#958117: uglifyjs: dead code: keep away from bullseye

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Source: uglifyjs
Version: 2.8.29-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

UglifyJS 2 is dead upstream (no code commit since June 2017).

These packages will *not* be part of Bullseye:

src:uglifyjs
libjs-uglify
node-uglify

Projects now using UglifyJS 2 can either upgrade to UglifyJS 3
or migrate to terser.

UglifyJS 3 has far fewer reverse dependencies than terser,
and is therefore more likely to be kept at newest release
and is less likely to be problematic to backport than terser.

UglifyJS 3 supports only EcmaScript 5,
so more modern code need to use Babel so "dumb down" code first,
where terser can process more modern dialects directly.


These packages are part of UglifyJS 3:

src:uglify-js
libjs-uglify-js
node-uglify-js
uglifyjs

These packages are part of terser:

src:node-terser
node-terser
uglifyjs.terser
