The changes I was making to F38 ended up being significantly different from the older packaging to the degree that attempting to maintain both was going to be more than I could handle.

It's definitely a packaging bug. I've been working on fixing it and I *think* the versions I just sent to updates-testing today https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-2edcc2b186 and https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-973319d5b7 will resolve it. > The default nodejs version should always provide the "unversioned" > nodejs, and other versions must not provide the unversioned names. > (This is how Python packages work in Fedora for a while, but it looks > like the process is still very buggy for nodejs.) Yeah, I meant to do this the same way that Python does and I missed a few places; those should be resolved by the latest round of updates... I hope. > (Side note: It was explicitly decided against using alternatives for > this purpose, because the way it's done for Python - and now NodeJS - > should be less error-prone and buggy.

"Should" is my least-favorite word in the English language. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
