So, what you can do to be sure is to ask for permission first. File a bug against release.debian.org containing the debdiff between 4.0.4 and 4.0.11 and explain why you think this will be better than just 4.0.4 with the fix for this bug.

"who-permits-upload acorn" says I should be able to do that.

[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#850506: Unreproducible FTBFS of acorn
Hi. I don't know anything about Javascript (sorry), but I'd like to suggest a general way to deal with this, which is not language-specific: Instead of trying to reproduce the bug yourself (by trying many times), look at the build logs and look at the code, and try to guess how it could happen: Error: missing module import from src/bin/acorn.js for path: acorn at Container.getModule (/usr/lib/nodejs/es6-module-transpiler/lib/container.js:94:9) at Module.getModule (/usr/lib/nodejs/es6-module-transpiler/lib/module.js:189:25) at ImportDeclaration. (/usr/lib/nodejs/es6-module-transpiler/lib/module_binding_declaration.js:106:40) at ImportDeclaration.Object.defineProperty.get (/usr/lib/nodejs/es6-module-transpiler/lib/utils.js:15:31) at CommonJSFormatter.importedReference (/usr/lib/nodejs/es6-module-transpiler/lib/formatters/commonjs_formatter.js:319:46) at Context.Rewriter.getExportReferenceForReference (/usr/lib/nodejs/es6-module-transpiler/lib/rewriter.js:363:20) at Context.Rewriter.visitIdentifier (/usr/lib/nodejs/es6-module-transpiler/lib/rewriter.js:106:32) at Context.invokeVisitorMethod (/usr/lib/nodejs/ast-types/lib/path-visitor.js:344:49) at Rewriter.PVp.visitWithoutReset (/usr/lib/nodejs/ast-types/lib/path-visitor.js:196:32) at visitChildren (/usr/lib/nodejs/ast-types/lib/path-visitor.js:246:25) For example: Is it true that the above functions call the other functions in cascade and the first one (or the last one) tries to load a module which is missing? How could that happen? That sort of thing. If you can guess how it may happen by looking at the code and the build log, you would not even need to reproduce it, but of course this would be all Knuth style: "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it" In this case, if you try to prove that the code is correct, you should surely fail, because we get those build failures which seem to indicate that it's not. And if this does not help you in any way, well, I'm really sorry. I would try to forward the bug upstream anyway. The bug seems real, as it happens on completely different environments (my autobuilders, using sbuild, and the ones from reproducible builds, using pbuilder).

Hi, I built the package dozens of time without any problem : can you tell me more about your setup? Thanks, Snark on #debian-js -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
