Hi, Sorry for resurrecting a long-dead thread, but a few things happened recently: 1. v8 was just retired last week or so, 2. R-V8 just ported itself from v8-314 to v8 LTS 6/7. Currently, R-V8 supports both v8-314 and v8, but as the latter fixes several downstream package issues, it is the recommended build target. I expect that eventually they will stop supporting 314 as well. This leaves me in a bit of a pickle as it does not bundle v8 and neither I nor upstream have any plans to build it ourselves. > For all of these same reasons, the Node.js SIG opted to carry a bundled > copy of v8 in that package as well. I think we should move to have v8 > considered to be a copylib for all reasonable purposes within Fedora. In Debian, the nodejs package provides a stable *shared* v8 library, and the recommended install is against libnode-dev. Unfortunately, in Fedora, while nodejs-devel provides v8.h, it does *not* provide any shared library. Is this something we can also do in Fedora, i.e., split out a nodejs-libs subpackage, or similar? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
