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

[Eric Brown]

Hi all,

Thank you Andreas and Andrius.

If I’m understanding the below correctly, it appears that the node-json3
may already have been removed from the dependency socksjs-client, but the
updated version is not released yet.

https://github.com/sockjs/sockjs-client/commit/d9584abe2c7c913ce95a1aea29e5744dd85e1af4

I wonder if we ask the dev to consider a release, and then update the
Debian package, that would solve the problem?

Best,
Eric
