Bug#611657: executable name is confusing, software already outdated
Package: nodejs Version: 0.2.0-1 Severity: serious Tags: squeeze nodejs version 0.2.0 has its executable renamed to /usr/bin/nodejs [1], and while it was all right for testing purposes, it is now not acceptable : * it will confuse users, and force them to add /usr/local/bin/node link * nodejs is only useful with external modules, they won't work unless that link is added. Moreover, most external modules depend on version 0.2.6 (upstream stable branch version), for that reason users will more likely use nodejs package from testing or backports (actually experimental [2]). Hence it is much more preferable to remove nodejs 0.2.0 from squeeze, instead of having an unusable and confusing version. Concerned source packages are "nodejs 0.2.0-1" and "coffeescript 0.7.0-1". The maintainer Geza Kovacs of the latter has agreed upon removal of its package from squeeze.
