[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1572) Remove support for spidermonkey

Randall Leeds commented on COUCHDB-1572:
----------------------------------------
By the time CentOS / RedHat ships the CouchDB version where we drop support for js-170 I suspect they'll be ready to add js-185 to their repos as well. Like I said, it may cause a few packagers, like yourself, pain, but no end users. You would have to either include the dependency or provide a js-185 rpm alongside the CouchDB one.

Robert Newson updated COUCHDB-1572:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.4
Not for 1.3, doesn't need to wait for 2.0 (unless we consider this 'breaking' enough?), so I made a middle version for now, but would appreciate feedback.

--------------------------------------------
I'm generally for it, but I reckon it'll cause some people pain when we do it.

----------------------------------------
Do it! It's not a breaking change. It's not the kind of thing that one can be unpleasantly surprised about. It's not as though you can build a new couchdb version without the dependency, so you can't ship a new couchdb in production, issue your equivalent of "/etc/init.d/couchdb restart" and be surprised to find that it doesn't run.
It may cause a few packagers some pain, but really, would it now? I challenge you to identify one distro that would ship a 1.3 (or 1.4) couchdb in their repo which doesn't already have a js1.8.5 package in same repo/series.
