The Fedora Node.js Special Interest Group is delighted to announce the
release of Fedora 19 ("Schrödinger's Cat"), the first Fedora release to
include node right from the start. Open the box and take a look for
yourself!*What's Fedora?* Fedora is a leading-edge, free and open source operating system that continues to deliver innovative features to many users, with a new release about every six months. Download it now! <https://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora> Or, learn more about Fedora <https://fedoraproject.org/en/about-fedora>. *What does this mean?* Installing node and npm at the same time is now as easy as: sudo yum install npm That's it! No more compiling—you get the latest node just like you're used to getting the latest *everything*. And yes, we support Fedora 18 and EPEL 6<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>too. Not to mention Pidora <http://pidora.ca> on your Raspberry Pi and all kinds of other fun ARM systems <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM>. *What about those pesky native modules? Don't I still need a compiler for them? * Not for a select number of modules<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Node.js/Native_Modules>(which we hope to grow here very soon). If one you need happens to be one of the lucky few, install it with yum and then npm link it into your project, like this example with *libxmljs*: sudo yum install 'npm(libxmljs)' cd /path/to/my/awesome/project npm link libxmljs * *Of course, npm install will always work, if we don't the module you're looking for or you want to look fondly back upon the old days. * Can I help make that number less "select"? *You sure can. <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Node.js#Join_Us.21> We can always use a little more help! *What else in Fedora 19 might interest me? * - *Developer's Assistant*<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DevelopersAssistant>is a tool for new developers that helps you to get started on a code project by offering templates, samples, and toolchains for a variety of languages. And when you're finished, you can publish directly to GitHub! - *3D modelling and printing*<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/3D_Printing>are supported with OpenSCAD, Skeinforge, SFACT, Printrun, RepetierHost, and other tool options. - *OpenShift Origin*<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenShift_Origin>makes it easy for you to build your own Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure, allowing you to enable others to easily develop and deploy software. And of course it supports node, just like its cloudy counterpart <http://openshift.redhat.com/>. - *MariaDB* <http://mariadb.org/> offers a truly open MySQL implementation and is now the default MySQL option in Fedora. - *systemd Resource Control*<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemdResourceControl>is one of many systemd enhancements in this release. It lets you modify your service settings without a reboot by dynamically querying and modifying resource control parameters at runtime. - *GCC 4.8* <http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html> contains the latest compiler optimizations—for when JavaScript isn't enough. And much, much more! <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/FeatureList> *You didn't answer my question! * Feel free to reply here. You can also ask Fedora-specific node-related questions over at nodejs at lists.fedoraproject.org<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/nodejs> . *What are you waiting for?* Go get it now <https://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora>, and enjoy! -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
