[Pkg-javascript-devel] sockjs-client is in Debian but needs update (Was: [covid-19] shiny-server (Was: dependencies Re: ITP: streamlit))

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I checked the hint "some work on sockjs-client done in salsa" which is
not complete since there is "competing work" even inside Debian[1].
Since its Git repository points to alioth I simply took the freedom to
merge the old packaging code into the work on Salsa[2] and shamelessly
sticked to the old name without the leading "node-" (which is wrong
but I intended to avoid passing new queue for the moment).

I think we can close the open bug[3] with the new latest upstream
version which I've injected.  Unfortunately we have a new problem as
autopkgtest shows[4]

   sockjs-client : Depends: node-json3 (>= 3.3.2) but it is not installable

while we had this package before it was removed[5] from Debian.

I need to admit that I have no idea how to sensibly proceed from here
and would love if someone from Debian Javascript Maintainers would take
over from here.

Kind regards
     Andreas.
