For you, that saves you having to make at least 45 new nodejs library packages. But, the reality is closer to 500 packages once you add in all the runtime and build-time dependencies. If you don't already have one, we have a script that makes the bundling easier. I've been using this one. https://github.com/tdawson/tdawson-misc-scripts/tree/master/npm-bundler It still needs a few tweeks, but it does the bundling part just fine. I ran that script for web-ext and it took about 10 minutes. Think of how much time you've already spent looking up what packages are in Fedora, and how many months it would take to get all the nodejs library packages made, and reviewed. It once took me over a year to get a nodejs based package in.
