Hi,
I think someone else has also recently e-mailed about this unresponsive maintainer, "patches".
I am looking to update one of his packages, "nodejs"
It is currently at version 0.10 in our PkgDB but the current version is 4.2.1
I would be happy to update and maintain this package, but I do not have any rights to it and it is not orphaned yet.
How should I go about updating this package?
Thanks, Chaoyi
You have to go through this process: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers
I just filed a ticket to FESCo: https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1492

Updating nodejs is nothing to be done lightly. It was supposed to be updated to 0.12 for F23:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NodeJS012
There was also an io.js plan:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/iojs
I don't think that either happened in the end though, and obviously events have been somewhat overtaken by the remerger with io.js.
I'd suggest contacting the nodejs list in the first instance anyway as that is where all the experts will be, including patches normally.

Ah, there is a Node.js list? I'll look into it and see if anything is going on over there.

Node.js v0.12 has since become outdated. The page about updating it to 0.12 for F23 is likely outdated as well by now. We may want to create a new page if it is needed.
Here is the latest "LTS" release: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.2.1/

Have you checked any existing nodejs module packages if they compile/build/run fine against this 4.2.1 version? Maybe try creating Copr repo and rebuilding all the existing nodejs packages against it.
Regards, Parag.
