[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#976682: node-jest: please provide real (not virtual) package node-natural-compare

Source: node-jest
Version: 26.6.3+repack+~cs61.38.31-1
Severity: important

eslint will soon depend on node-natural-compare,
which is currently a virtual package provided by jest.

That means eslint and all its consumers,
many of which do not need jest,
will with the current setup grow a dependency of jest
and its large set of dependencies.

Please consider providing node-natural-compare as a real binary package,
either from src:node-jest as now,
but preferrably (to also reduce _build-dependency_ tree)
provided by some other source package with much much lower dependency tree -
ideally a package using same type of build-dependencies as itself
(i.e. _not_ mocha or jest or babel or rollup or terser).


Thanks for considering,

 - Jonas
