[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#997736:

[Daniel Swarbrick]

I noticed in the debian/rules that rebuilding the timezone JS data from the
tzdata package is *optional*, and only occurs if the moment-timezone
package has a +NNNNx suffix, e.g. +2021e. If not, the timezone JS data from
the upstream moment-timezone source will be used.

I just tried building v0.5.34 *without* the tzdata suffix, and all tests
passed. I suspect that in order to build against tzdata 2021e, despite it
allegedly already being included in the upstream v0.5.34 source, it would
require some manipulation of the tests. I suppose the question is how far
down the rabbit hole we want to go. I'm sure that this issue will arise
again as soon as tzdata 2022a is released, and we will need another patch
in moment-timezone, such as was contributed by Martina Ferrari in the past.

Perhaps we could instead just move forward with moment-timezone v0.5.34,
sans tzdata 2021e, in the interests of closing this bug and unblocking a
bunch of testing package transitions.
