Comment 0 for bug 1683989

Availability
============
Co-maintained with Debian GNOME. We would be in sync except Debian is in release freeze with GNOME 3.22. Built for all supported architectures.

Rationale
=========
Required for gnome-shell. It is also used by these apps which might be in a default Ubuntu install.
* gnome-characters
* gnome-documents
* gnome-maps
* gnome-weather

Security
========
No known security issues

Upstream tests are run during the build but test failures are currently ignored (dh_auto_test || true). I will change that once 17.10 development starts since it looks like the issue that caused the tests to fail is fixed now.

Autopkgtests pass except on s390x

Dependencies
============
The only binary universe dependency is mozjs38 (LP: #1683937) See that MIR for more info.

Standards compliance
====================
3.9.8

Maintenance
===========
- Actively developed upstream
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gjs

Debian packaging uses svn, but we're hoping to convert to git this year (which will allow for Ubuntu branches):
