Meanwhile I've also added some update-alternatives support. (yet have to add version into package name). But this will conflict w/ current versions, as they directly install /usr/bin/nodejs. Can we make a minor update of 0.10.* for update-alternatives ? > Are you talking about installing modules depending on their > compatibility with node engines (as found in package.json) ? Actually, not sure whether that's really required. Are there any known (already packaged) modules that break w/ newer nodejs ? If not, I guess, just adding depend son newer engines where needed should be enough. --mtx

Packaging nodejs-7.9
Hi folks, I'm currently packaging nodejs-7.9 for various deb Distros. I'll have to maintain some applications that use the fanciest new features, and precompiled binaries from untrusted sources (eg. nvm+friends) of course are not an option. Before I go all of this alone - is there anybody here who already done this ? Or anything I should consider ? My current plan is: * install in similar way as jvm (/usr/lib/nodejs/nodejs-$version) * for now I'll just directly symlink - update-alternatives support comes in a later step (or maybe someone here likes to help ?) * the actual nodejs package will be named "nodejs-$version", the symlinks in package "nodejs". The tricky part will be a safe upgrade path from current 0.10 and npm's dependencies. What do you folks think about that ? --mtx
