LibreJS/javascript issues
the following Libre Distros have some pages on their websites where LibreJS complains:
Musix
Parabola
these seem to be limited to the wiiki site
reported on mailing list https://lists.parabola.nu/pipermail/dev/2017-July/005703.html
There's an issue that was found thanks to the mailing list thread mentioned above. The issue referenced is also mentioned in the mailing list topic.
Dragora
Adfeno couldn't find the repository where they keep their website source files. However, Adfeno decided to check if MoinMoin itself presented the issues.
From the webpage source, it seems that they are using a mix of MoinMoin version 1.9.3 and 1.9.4 (assumed so because of moin_static193
and moin_static194
directories).
The http://www.gnewsense.org/moin_static193//common/js/common.js
file couldn't be found in gNewSense website. Only the 1.9.4 counterpart could.
Adfeno took the source files of MoinMoin 1.9.3 and concluded that all the issues raised by GNU LibreJS are caused by MoinMoin itself, namely the file at MoinMoin/theme/__init__.py
.
One must note however that the only page tested so far was the download page of the gNewSense website.
