[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#968962: Doesn't ship all deps from what it ships

[Julien Puydt]

Package: node-typescript-types
Version: 20200808-1
Severity: important

I'm trying to update the node-ast-types packages, but fail for various
reasons ; one of them is that node-typescript-types ships
@types/micromatch which depends on @types/braces, but doesn't ship
@types/braces.

I checked that the node-braces package doesn't contain the type
declarations (their upstream doesn't ship them), so it's really the
files coming from DefinitelyTyped which should get used.

I decided to set the severity to important, because it looks like more
than a normal bug : it's not enough to add @types/braces to fix it ;
perhaps there are other instances where broken type definitions are
shipped, in the sense that they should be in the package.

I'll probably follow up to that initial mail with a full list of
problems.

Thanks,

JP
