Package Name: mozjs38 Version: 38.2.1~rc0 Upstream Author : Mozilla URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/Releases/38 License : MPL-2.0, mostly Programming Lang: C++ Description: SpiderMonkey JavaScript library SpiderMonkey is the code-name for Mozilla Firefox's C++ implementation of JavaScript. It is intended to be embedded in other applications that provide host environments for JavaScript. Other Info -------------- I am a Debian Maintainer and I have packaged this for the pkg-gnome team. The packaging is derived from the mozjs24 package. Packaging is at https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-gnome/mozjs38.git/ mozjs38 is required for GNOME 3.24 (particularly gjs and gnome-shell) The gjs developer intends to port gjs to mozjs45 and maybe mozjs52 (the current version) for GNOME 3.26 later this year. Besides GNOME, there are 3 Debian packages that use mozjs24 (edbrowse and Cinnamon with its gjs fork, cjs). Both upstreams are working on porting to mozjs38 now. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
