[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1112652: RM: libllhttp9.2 -- NBS; Source no longer builds libllhttp-dev and libllhttp9.2

Hi,

please remove from unstable:
libllhttp9.2
libllhttp-dev

to let llhttp migrate to testing.


Explanation:
llhttp 9.2.0, while in NEW, was replaced by llhttp 9.3.0,
which intentionally no longer builds those arch any packages.
They are now built by "libllhttp".

This was made to allow libllttp9.3, which uses the *generated* sources
by llhttp, to be available on all architectures, and not only the ones
where nodejs is available.

However, llhttp 9.2.0 in unstable and 9.3.0 in experimental, hence the
problem it poses now.

It is a *blocking* problem for the js-team,
as it prevents installation of nodejs (through node-undici) in sid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Jérémy

NB:

I am considering using Build-Depends(-Arch|-Indep) to switch to a single
source package, getting rid of libllhttp, as discussed on #debian-qa.
