Hollingsworth <tchollingsworth@xxxxxxxxx> 2011-10-24 18:58:22 EDT --- Per our discussion via e-mail, I'm going to ship Node.js in a third-party repository [1] for the time being, until such time that the bundled library problems can be patched or upstream decides they're worth working out: >The big issue right now is bundled library madness. It gets a lot worse with 0.5, where upstream moved the ev/eio stuff into its own library (libuv) that abstracts that out so Windows support can be added. That library is presently a spaghetti of bundled libraries with just enough minor changes to make it unreasonably difficult to split them out. I'm hesitant to bother with a working 0.4 if 0.6 (which is due to be released pretty soon now) is never going to be acceptable for Fedora. >I fear the only way it might make it into Fedora is for FPC to decide they've modified it enough to grant an exception, but that seems unlikely (since this is pretty much the same situation Chromium is in). It might be wiser to just maintain it in a third-party repository for the moment. In the meantime, I'm closing out all my Node.js-related review requests.
