[Pkg-javascript-devel] RFC: Build profiles: node-rollup-plugin-replace

[Nilesh Patra]

Hi,
Node-rollup-plugin-replace has build profiles by the name: <js.transpile.*>
as can be seen here [1][2]
This is also the case with a few other node-rollup-plugin-* modules.

While trying to build these with node-babel7, as a part of babel7
transitions, I noticed that these build profiles lead to
lintian error: "Invalid-profile-name-in-source-relation"

On investigating further, I found out that "custom" build profiles should
have name of the form:
"pkg.$sourcepackage.$anything"
This is explicitly mentioned here[3].

After discussing this on IRC, I can think of making Babel the default
transpiler and add build option for Bublé with a !(not).
So this gets picked if passed with DEB_BUILD_PROFILES.

This for instance is the change I wish to suggest:

node-rollup-plugin-buble (>= 4.4~) <!pkg.node-rollup-plugin-replace.buble>

node-babel7 <pkg.node-rollup-plugin-replace.babel>,


Will that be sensible and correct to do?
I would want more "acks" and suggestions on this one.
