[Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#681184: mediawiki: includes courtesy copies of ECMAscript libs

[Thorsten Glaser]

Platonides dixit:

>Thorsten, how do you expect to handle it?

Have not investigated it yet. Same as with the other occurrences,
I guess – cut off the convenience copies of third-party code, patch
the code to use the system-wide copy, and kick it until it ble^Wworks.

Yes. There’s of course also the risk that the system-wide copy has got
security and bugfixes which make using it at all possible. ☺ It’s Policy
so there’s not even any need to discuss it, even if you don’t like it,
too.
