Control: reassign -1 tech-ctte Control: retitle -1 Rename nodejs back to node for buster, now that ax25-node has been removed?
Dear tech-ctte, In 2012, the decision was made to rename Node.js' "node" name to nodejs-legacy, and transition the existing "node" package to ax25-node. However, ax25-node (and the "node" package following) were removed in 2015 citing lack of activity: https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/node.html Thus, would it be possible to revert the original decision, and rename nodejs back to node in the next Debian release? Doing so would make working with JavaScript programs outside of Debian a lot easier, as projects tend to hardcode the "node" interpreter name.
