Hello all,
recently, when trying to spin up a CI for NodeJS in Fedora, I ran into a
slight problem: when a NodeJS stream is the default one, versioned
packages (i.e. nodejs20) are not generated and are not installable.
For example, on current rawhide, I cannot install `nodejs20` package,
only `nodejs`; this will give me the version 20.x as expected.
The problem is that this complicates the CI setup,
and requires me to take into account which Fedora I'm currently on.
As an example, when adding tests for nodejs20 dist-git[1],
I would like to simply specify `requires: nodejs20` into the test
metadata. However, with the current setup, I would need something akin
to the following (pseudocode, I did not really test if that would work):
requires:
- {% if fedora == 40 %}nodejs{% else %}nodejs20{% fi %}
In addition to being more complicated, this will also break if the
default stream for a given Fedora version ever change
(which is not unlikely to happen, as the upstream release schedule
is not really synchronized with the Fedore one).

I recall that the current status is the result of already existing
long discussion, with associated debugging, so I would like to have this
solved with as minimal disruption as possible. That being said,
what is the reason for having the non-versioned packages (`nodejs`) *in
stead* of the versioned ones (`nodejs20`), as opposed to *in addition*
to them?
The non-versioned packages could then require the appropriate versioned
ones and contain only symlinks (/usr/bin/node → /usr/bin/node-20,
/usr/lib/node_modules → /usr/lib/node_modules_20, etc.).
Python does this similarly to nodejs (we have python3.11, pytohn3, python3.13
in rawhide today), with one difference. The python3 package provides
python3.12. So when you do:
requires:
- python3.12
It just works.
I believe nodejs should provide nodejs20, the same way.
