Source0 for nodejs modules
by Piotr Popieluch 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

The the Node.js guidelines say about Source0 [1]: "The canonical method for shipping most node modules is tarballs from the npm registry" and "This method [PP: tarbals from npm] should be preferred to using checkouts from git or automatically generated tarballs from GitHub." But I think that in following cases it would be better to use sources from the upstream project: 1) When the license is not included in NPM but is in upstream project. o Because we are not supposed to ship the license separate from the sources. 2) When the tests are not included. o In this case we need to download the sources from NPM and from upstream project, which seems redundant and a waste of work. 3) When NPM content is generated and source files are not in NPM. o This would mean to download sources from NPM and upstream project, delete the NPM sources in prep and generate the files again. Are there good reason to enforce the use of NPM sources which I am missing? What is your opinion? I would like to suggest to ad those three exceptions to the guidelines.

Dropping node_g build
by Stephen Gallagher 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

While trying to build Node.js 6.9.2 today, it became apparent that there are some build failures when building Node.js in debug mode that are not present in the production builds. Given that the debug builds only have ever worked on the i686 and x86_64 architectures, I'd like to suggest that we just remove it from the build process entirely. The only change in output would be that the /usr/bin/node_g binary would no longer be produced. (If preferred, we could also convert this to a symlink to the /usr/bin/node binary on the off chance that someone is depending on node_g somewhere).

Fwd: [HELPWANTED] Building jquery for F24 branch
by Christopher 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Hello. I'm trying to get js-jquery1 to build on F24, and was wondering if anybody in the Node.js SIG could help me. See forwarded message below with all the details from devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org. Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Christopher <ctubbsii(a)fedoraproject.org> Date: Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 8:30 PM Subject: Re: [HELPWANTED] Building jquery for F24 branch To: Development discussions related to Fedora <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 8:13 PM Tom Hughes <tom(a)compton.nu> wrote: On 30/11/16 01:02, Christopher wrote: > Can anybody help me build js-jquery1 for F24?

Well the Node.js SIG are probably the people to ask, but I can't see any builds on koji, so if you want help you're going to have to point us at the build or give us some more information about the error you are seeing. I figured I'd ask for help first, before spamming this list with details :) But, the failure is reproducible with mockbuild. Here's a scratch build which failed: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=16675312 I can check with the Node.js SIG (I didn't realize such a thing existed). If you're planning to update from 1.11 to 1.12 then I would have to ask if that is even appropriate in a released version anyway... That's a good question. I'm not sure. It really depends on what API changes upstream is making, and who depends on the js-jquery1 compat package. At first, I would have said yes, to get the security fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1399547 . However, I now realize that the patch they had applied to 1.12 for that was never released, and was instead reverted in all branches before 3.0, which isn't even packaged (yet) in Fedora. So now, the options are to backport the fix to the versions in Fedora... or to ignore the issue until we update to 3.0. Even if we ignore, it doesn't resolve the question about what to do with the compat packages for jquery1 (and maybe a future compat package for jquery2). Whether or not we upgrade or backport a security fix, I can't proceed at all on the F24 branch right now. Tom -- Tom Hughes (tom(a)compton.nu) http://compton.nu/

Node.js FTBFS Fixes
by Stephen Gallagher 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

As part of efforts around the Base Runtime, I'm working through several FTBFS issues in Node.js packages in Fedora 25. Most of these are due to packages that were built prior to the release of Node.js 6.5, which slightly changed the semantics of the test runner for expected results. Most upstreams have a patch for this that works (occasionally with minor modifications), so I'm just pulling those down where possible and otherwise disabling the individual tests if not. I do not plan to issue Bodhi updates for these changes; I only need the builds in Koji to pull them into the Base Runtime build environment.
