[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: mozjs68
Version: 68.6.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid bullseye
User: debian-python@lists.debian.org
Usertags: py2removal

Python2 becomes end-of-live upstream, and Debian aims to remove
Python2 from the distribution, as discussed in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/07/msg00080.html

Your package either build-depends, depends on Python2, or uses Python2
in the autopkg tests, in details:

(source:mozjs68)Build-Depends->python2-dev

Please stop using Python2, and fix this issue by one of the following
actions.

- Convert your Package to Python3. This is the preferred option.  In
  case you are providing a Python module foo, please consider dropping
  the python-foo package, and only build a python3-foo package.  Please
  don't drop Python2 modules, which still have reverse dependencies,
  just document them.
  
  This is the preferred option.

- If the package is dead upstream, cannot be converted or maintained
  in Debian, it should be removed from the distribution.  If the
  package still has reverse dependencies, raise the severity to
  "serious" and document the reverse dependencies with the BTS affects
  command.  If the package has no reverse dependencies, confirm that
  the package can be removed, reassign this issue to ftp.debian.org,
  make sure that the bug priority is set to normal and retitle the
  issue to "RM: PKG -- removal triggered by the Python2 removal".

- If the package has still many users (popcon >= 300), or is needed to
  build another package which cannot be removed, document that by
  adding the "py2keep" user tag (not replacing the py2remove tag),
  using the debian-python@lists.debian.org user.  Also any
  dependencies on an unversioned python package (python, python-dev)
  must not be used, same with the python shebang.  These have to be
  replaced by python2/python2.7 dependencies and shebang.

  This is the least preferred option.

If there are questions, please refer to the wiki page for the removal:
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal, or ask for help on IRC
#debian-python, or the debian-python@lists.debian.org mailing list.

mozjs68 is indirectly needed for GNOME Shell, so it can't be removed;
and it's a subset of the Mozilla/Firefox codebase, with Mozilla's
complicated Python-2-based build-system.

As a result, this is highly unlikely to be fixed until the corresponding
change has happened in Firefox, at which point we can maybe try to
backport it?

I don't think anyone in the GNOME team has more understanding of the
Mozilla build system than "can do targeted fixes with a lot of effort",
so help from people who know how it works would be very valuable.

Description: 
 libmozjs-78-0 - SpiderMonkey JavaScript library
 libmozjs-78-dev - SpiderMonkey JavaScript library - development headers
Changes:
 mozjs78 (78.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload
 .
   [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
   * New upstream version 78.2.0 (Closes: #968341)
     - Rename source to mozjs78
     - debian/gbp.conf: Set debian and upstream branches to match version
     - debian/watch: Update main version regex
   * debian/control:
     - Add back rust and LLVM dependencies:
       mozjs can't be compiled anymore without rust built sources, at least not
       without some huge changes that aren't suitable for a distro-patch, so
       let's add back rustc and cargo as dependencies.
       This also implies some libraries checks that are performed using llvm
       tools, so including it as well.
     - Bump dependency on debhelper 13
     - Bump build dependency to ICU 63.1-4 (tests need debian specific version,
       see bug #968609)
     - Use python3 (and drop python2.7) (Closes: #956334)
     - Update Vcs-* flags to match branches
   * debian/rules:
     - Only use python3
     - Don't set ICU_DATA_FILE as mozilla build system already handles it
     - Use GNOME suggested configure parameters
     - Factorize the code to compute just once the VERSIONED_LIBNAME
     - Export MOZJS_VERSION to be used in install files
     - Use thin LTO in rust (via RUSTFLAGS) for riscv64
     - Ensure rust follows debian compilation settings
     - Set CARGO_HOME to a builddir subdirectory
   * debian/test.sh:
     - Use python3 to run jit tests
     - Run again make check-jstests (it was wrongly removed)
     - Don't redefine HOME. This is now handled by default by debhelper 13
   * debian/*.install: Use debhelper 13 variables sobstitutions to match files
   * debian/README.source: Add doc to explain how we generate the orig file
   * debian/source/lintian-overrides:
     - Ignore missing signature on source tarball
     - Ignore errors on files with very long lines
   * debian/gbp.conf:
     - Remove filters as they are now handled by the repack script
   * debian/gbp-repack-mozjs-source.sh:
     - Only support gbp versions that repack the orig file using the content
       generated by the postunpack hook
     - Add ability to copy more files into the git archive from firefox
       sources, and include the ICU sources to allow builds without system ICU.
     - Add ability to filter files, and remove Files-Excluded from
       debian/copyright (in case gbp imports an orig file without uscan).
     - Delete empty directories in mozjs sources (as git will ignore them)
   * debian/libmozjs-78-0.docs: Include NOTICE file from 3rd party pkcs11
   * debian/patches: Refresh for mozjs78
   * d/p/Bug-1545437-Add-options-to-specify-Rust-target-name.patch:
     - Refreshed to apply in new version, we still need to set RUST_TARGET
   * d/p/Bug-1661094-Always-define-PKGCONF_REQUIRES_PRIVATE.patch:
     - Ensure we generate a pkg-config file with proper syntax
   * d/p/Remove-unused-LLVM-and-Rust-build-dependencies.patch:
     - Dropped, mozjs now strictly depends on rust (and use llvm tools to check)
   * d/p/tests-Adapt-formatted-strings-results-to-system-ICU.patch:
     - Sync expected test results as per latest system ICU
   * d/p/Add-riscv64-support.patch:
     - Ensure that we find the proper rust target in all the riscv64 variants
     - Ensure we compile with -mabi=lp64d, importing some cc-rs fixes.
   * d/p/icu_sources_data.py-Decouple-from-Mozilla-build-system.patch,
     d/p/icu_sources_data-Write-command-output-to-our-stderr.patch:
     - Add back icu sources data patches, they were wrongly removed, even if
       they aren't currently used, they might be useful if internal ICU is
       wanted for backport reasons.
 .
   [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
   * Disable CET protection in mozjs, until after JIT is ported upstream.
 .
   [ Simon McVittie ]
   * d/copyright: Update
   * d/p/Skip-another-timezone-related-test-that-fails-with-system.patch:
     Add a patch to skip another timezone-related test with system ICU
