[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1036778: ckbuilder: must be rebuilt against rhino 1.7.14

[Markus Koschany]

Hi,

I have just rebuilt all reverse-dependencies of closure-compiler again,
ckbuilder and ckeditor also build fine now. Thus the upload of ckbuilder
2.4.3+dfsg-2 was successful.

That's a good idea. In general the Javascript maintainers should be more
considerate when it comes to packages like rhino or closure-compiler. The
latter has been neglected for ten years but still many Javascript packages
depend on it. It is only a matter of time when other issues in closure-compiler
will surface.

@yadd

If you haven't done so already, could you please file an unblock request for
ckbuilder? 

Thanks

Markus
