Julien,
I missed the JavaScript in the synopsis, my fault; I did get the one in the
description.
Why the older version? A couple of reasons. First, is that I'm trying
to address the problems that have been pointed out with my earlier
patches for a ditaa package. 'ditaa' has a sequence of dependencies
that lead to the version of rhino I've packaged. I looked at the latest
version too (because that would certainly be a good thing) but newer
releases of rhino have transitioned to the gradle build system. I have
experience with ant that I can use but none, yet, with gradle. Plus,
and this may be naive, I thought it might be a good experiment (perhaps
even better for guix) to see if a guix transformation based on this ant
build could build one of the later rhino versions that otherwise would
require gradle. I may pursue such experiments later after I achieve my
first goal, which is to package ditaa. I also think there is a risk
that the latest version of rhino will not work with ditaa as the one we
are packaging does.
If I can suceed with rhino and my more recent submission of xalan then I
will have a clean build of batik that will allow ditaa to be built
properly using only guix quality, built-from-source, libraries. That is
my current small guix ambition.
Regards,
Frank
