[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#977311: node-uglifyjs-webpack-plugin: dead upstream since July 2019

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Package: node-uglifyjs-webpack-plugin
Version: 1.3.0-9
Severity: serious

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

node-uglifyjs-webpack-plugin is dead since 1.5 years, already carries a
patch to not actually use node-uglifyjs but node-terser, and terser will
soon see a major backwards-incompatible change that will require even
more custom hacks.

It seems this package has only one reverse dependency (webpack) and two
reverse build-dependencies (node-chai and node-webpack).

Seems it is time to replace this package with its successor,
https://github.com/webpack-contrib/terser-webpack-plugin

Setting severity to serious due to the upcoming breaking change to
node-terser.
