When will cjs be based on mozjs91?

When will cjs be based on mozjs91? Based on mozjs78 already two years ago.

How different is cjs and gjs? I replaced cjs with gjs when compiling cinnamon, and the compilation passed.
New version of gjs using mozjs91.

usually the transition to a new version of mozjs also requires changes in cinnamon and in the applets
using gjs instead of cjs is possible, need also adding a patch with the necessary changes on cinnamon but I think it is to avoid, would risk creating unexpected events with the applets (due to any changed functions), not to mention that every new version of gjs used by the distro should be kept updated and tested
the better is cjs rebase so cinnamon and applets will be adapted to new version

mozjs78 also seems to have reached end of life upstream, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/78.15.0/releasenotes/

Didn't have time to do it prior to our current release, hopefully in the coming months.

This isn't as urgent as it may appear - we use it for language bindings only, but we'll get to it.

How about skipping 91 and depending on 102 instead?

[jbicha]

I do encourage you to use mozjs102 instead. That will get you about a year of Mozilla support from now, while mozjs91 is going out of support now.

You can include mozjs102 in the same repos you use to offer new Cinnamon builds.

mtwebster started to prepare a rebase with new gjs that use mozjs102: #111
