    If you run eric7_browser and press ==->Bookmarks->Speed Dial it doesn't show the

    Is it ok to keep the original jquery files and add a lintian-override in this case?

    Hi Gudjon,

    Looking at it, the problem seems to be that eric is using an ancient
    version of jQuery (1.7.1, released Nov 22, 2011; 1.7.2 was released on
    Mar 21, 2012). jQuery-UI 1.8.16 is similarly old (released Aug 15,
    2011, 1.8.17 was released on Nov 29, 2011). You could embed it (but
    not the minimised version in the upstream eric sources, but rather the
    original source from github.com/jquery/{jquery,jquery-ui}, but it
    would be far from ideal - who knows how many bugs or possible security
    issues there are in such an old version? A much better solution, if
    feasible, is to ask the eric upstream to switch to a recent version of
    jQuery and jQuery UI, and to update the code depending on it
    accordingly. If upstream won't do that, then we should.

    Best wishes,

    Julian

    Hi list

    I am working on eric and I do have a problem with the lintian requirement
    to replace the jquery.js file with the debian provided jquery.js file.

    The upstream author pointed out that it doesn't work as well and I have verified the behavior.
    If you run eric7_browser and press ==->Bookmarks->Speed Dial it doesn't
    show the links when using the debian jquery.js file.

    Is it ok to keep the original jquery files and add a lintian-override in
    this case?

    Thanks Julian

    That was helpful. It is fixed now in upstream.
