Are there any actual plans for Node.js stack in fedora?
Are we going to update everything and hope that nothing

update will break some other packages (because I don't

I try to build packages in COPR first, but
this is quite work intensive
and does not have any automated checks.
Rawhide has no gating/checks either, I think most of us did accidentally
push a package to rawhide which happened to introduce new missing
dependencies.
Koschei is good to see if an update to a package breaks a dependency,
but for this to work packages need to have tests enabled and we still
miss some test frameworks (which are not packaged yet). Also Kosechei is
a bit too late imho, I would rather want to know if my update breaks
something *before* I push it to rawhide, not after..
What about updating v8, nodejs and npm? Are we going for
LTS and npm@2 or directly to v5.x and npm@3?
T.C. Hollingsworth had plans to update
but this got delayed. I haven't
heard from him in a while.
Victor Jancik tried to update nodejs out of the blue without contacting
any one of us. That wasn't received well and most of his ACL requests
got mass denied. I think that unfortunately this reaction demotivated
him to continue on this.
Someone needs to step up to lead these updates. I certainly don't have
the time and packaging experience to do this.
