There's basically no issue with Chromium at this point, since Chromium is not in Fedora. Realistically, node.js is not specially picky about the version of v8 used, so it won't be difficult to find a version that fits both Chromium and node.js. (node.js worked well with any version I tried, including multiple versions from spot's chromium repository). In order to breakage in stable release, we should indeed stick with released versions and patch them for eventual (security) issues ourselves, given we can't rely on upstream doing that. Should not be hard. In two users of v8 have conflicting demands on API that can not be patched around, the last resort solution would be to use -compat packages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
