I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

No recent version releases were found.

1.2 Version Information:

Please provide the version release information you would like me to analyze and summarize.

II. Issues

2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.

  1. [MODERN-BUILD-STACK] 3.4-rc.3 Error: Cannot find package "tools-core". Try "meteor add tools-core": This issue describes a problem with the rspack Meteor package version 1.0.0-rc340.3, which incorrectly lists the tools-core package as a hard dependency, causing production builds to fail since tools-core is marked as a development-only package. The root cause is that the build system tries to include tools-core in production, where it is unavailable, and the suggested fix is to declare tools-core as a weak dependency and handle its absence gracefully in the code.

    • The comments discuss a workaround involving patching the rspack package to avoid requiring tools-core in production, reveal a secondary error related to missing http-proxy-middleware, clarify that running production builds with NODE_ENV=development causes the issue, and note that a proper fix is planned for a future Meteor release while the workaround suffices for now.
    • Number of comments this week: 3
  2. Unable to resolve "eta/core": This issue describes a problem where the user is unable to resolve the module "eta/core" when running a Meteor application using the oidc-provider package on MacOS 15.6.1 with Meteor version 3.2. Despite installing the eta package via npm, the error persists, and the user has identified the problem originating from an import statement in the oidc-provider's index.js file and provided a repository to reproduce the issue.

    • The comments reveal that the initial repository shared by the user only contained the README file, and after being prompted, the user confirmed that the necessary changes were pushed to the repository.
    • Number of comments this week: 2

Since there were fewer than 5 open issues, all of the open issues have been listed above.

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

As of our latest update, there are no stale issues for the project this week.

2.3 Open Issues

This section lists, groups, and then summarizes issues that were created within the last week in the repository.

Issues Opened This Week: 2

Summarized Issues:

  • Dependency misconfiguration causing build failures: The rspack Meteor package incorrectly lists the tools-core package as a hard dependency, which leads to production builds failing because tools-core is intended only for development and is unavailable in production environments. This misconfiguration prevents successful deployment of Meteor applications in production.
  • issues/14087
  • Module resolution errors with third-party packages: The Meteor application fails to resolve the module "eta/core" when using the oidc-provider package, even though the eta package is installed. This results in an unresolved import error originating from the oidc-provider's views/index.js file, causing runtime issues.
  • issues/14090

2.4 Closed Issues

This section lists, groups, and then summarizes issues that were closed within the last week in the repository. This section also links the associated pull requests if applicable.

Issues Closed This Week: 1

Summarized Issues:

  • Security Vulnerability in Dependencies: This issue requests upgrading the bundled qs dependency in the meteor-node-stubs package from version 6.14.0 to 6.14.1 to address a high severity security vulnerability. The update aims to mitigate potential security risks associated with the older version of the dependency.
  • issues/14074
