Hello Debian Javascript Maintainers,
There is a circular dependency between node-deep-equal and node-es-abstract:
node-deep-equal :Depends: node-es-abstract
node-es-abstract :Depends: node-deep-equal
Circular dependencies involving shared libraries are known to cause problems
during upgrade between stable releases, so we should try to avoid them.
Cheers,
Hi,
this is a test dependency, library can be built with "nocheck" without
any nodejs dependency except nodejs itself (via pkg-js-tools).
There are many circular dependencies in node-* packages when building
with test.
To avoid this, we can move test dependencies into
debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-nodejs.conf and add an empty
override_dh_auto_test.
I'm going to do that here.
