Port to mozjs38 about edbrowse HOT 8 CLOSED

I should probably comment on this issue to say that we're moving
to duktape for our JS engine. The effort is ongoing, and I'll
keep you posted.

Ubuntu 17.04 has been released now.

Ok, so mozjs24 is still in Ubuntu 17.04, right?
Can you give us a hard deadline for when we need to move to something
else? I read your original message, and it said mozjs 24 would probably
be removed before 17.10 is released.

On VoidLinux edbrowse is the only package that depends on mozjs24. After edbrowse has moved to a newer version, we'll remove it from the repositories.

@CMB I don't think it makes sense to remove mozjs24 as long as Cinnamon still needs it. On the other hand, I don't think it makes sense to keep mozjs24 in Ubuntu only for edbrowse. Cinnamon is working on switching to mozjs38 now. I recommend to have edbrowse no longer dependent on mozjs24 before the end of September.

My comment yesterday was only to let you know that Ubuntu 17.04 is available now if that was what you were waiting on to test your app with mozjs38.

Thanks for following up.

Right now, it's looking like Debian will skip mozjs38 and go straight to mozjs52 in the next 2 months more or less. Because of that, I don't think I'd keep mozjs38 in Ubuntu 17.10 (development) after that if nothing's using it.

Sorry for not following up on this earlier, but edbrowse 3.7.0 was released
a few days ago. It uses duktape, so there is no longer a dependency
on spidermonkey 24.

Shouldn't this issue be closed?
