= Proposal topic =
Allow bundled js library for oolite
= Overview =
oolite, a space simulation game, bundles a copy of js. There are several main reasons: 1. the system copy was, for a long time, not compiled with UTF8 support. It probably still is not on many other distributions https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459211#c13 2. our js is compiled with THREADSAFE support. upstream claims that the API is significantly changed, and that the performance hit is non-negligible. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459211#c34 3. as the library is only used with local scripts, upstream thinks there are no security risks https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459211#c16
A more detailed overview of the proposal
= Problem space =
Getting oolite packaged in Fedora; as a non-trivial large GNUstep application this helps making sure that the GNUstep stack is in decent condition
= Solution Overview =
If permission is granted to bundle js, there is no problem. I've marked the spec with a virtual provides for bundled(js) = 1.70.
If not, then either we convince upstream to use the thread-safe system js, patch oolite ourselves to make that works, or drop the package.
