Review: node-prosemirror-buildhelper 0.2.0-2

Package Information

Descriptionhelper scripts to build ProseMirror packages

@prosemirror/buildhelper provides pm-buildhelper, the build driver that the ProseMirror packages use to build themselves: it converts the /// doc comments in the sources to JSDoc comments so that the TypeScript compiler will not strip them, compiles the package's TypeScript sources in memory, and then runs Rollup together with rollup-plugin-dts to emit dist/index.js (ES module), dist/index.cjs (CommonJS) and dist/index.d.ts from the package's main TypeScript file.

Current prosemirror-* releases, as needed by the Zotero note editor, build themselves with pm-buildhelper instead of the older "rollup -c" setup, so this package is required in order to build them from source. This is part of packaging Zotero for Debian (#1125955).

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

Changelog◂
node-prosemirror-buildhelper (0.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Declare compliance with policy 4.7.4 and drop the redundant Priority
     and Rules-Requires-Root fields.
   * Build with debhelper compat 14 and dh-sequence-single-binary, and drop
     the now unneeded misc:Depends.
   * Use execute_after_dh_fixperms instead of an override.
   * Use the Expat short name for the Expat license.
   * Keep the debian/tests/pkg-js test as a documented placeholder: upstream
     ships no test suite, so all that runs is the entry point check.
   * Point the packaging at the new upstream home code.haverbeke.berlin and
     convert debian/watch to the version 5 syntax.
