Details

Description:
CouchDB package which has previously tracked the Apache CouchDB releases within days has for some unexplained reason made the jump 1.1.0-3294343svn (which is branded 1.2.0x in Futon). This snapshot of the trunk is seriously buggy, commonjs includes on shows/lists dont work for example.

Rather than tackle this bug I think the couchdb package should be tracking the releases of CouchDB, as it has previously done, rather than some random point in the SVN trunk. Unlike some other projects CouchDB is highly unstable outside the releases, following the releases as soon as they come out meets the Arch mantra perfectly (obviously how we follow releases/version is depending on the projects). If Arch mantra is follow the SVN trunk, Git HEAD etc.. with 'it compiles it works' then I'll shut up.

Disappointed this made into community

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Please try couchdb-1.1.0-1.svn20110823 (reason was js package compatibility)

Sergej

Could you not of compile 1.1.0 against JS (which is SpiderMonkey 1.8.5)?

Or alternatively we can localize the dependency on SpiderMonkey using --with-js-lib and --with-js-include

Still issues e.g.
Using commonjs require fails on shows and lists (and probably views too) - A CRITICAL BUG
cant save a temporary view in Futon:
'Cannot save view because the design document language is "undefined", not "javascript".'

Moving CouchDB along with SpiderMonkey is a simply a recipe for disaster.

Please describe what do you do exactly. I successfully created view as described in http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_view_API#Creating_Views
