[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#872023: transition: nodejs

[Jérémy Lal]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Transition from nodejs 4 to nodejs 6, with module abi change from
version 46 to version 48.
All nodejs c++ addons (build-depending on nodejs-dev) must be rebuilt.

Also Julien Puydt rebuilt all node modules packages against nodejs 6
to check for failures and report them:
- node-chai #868319 fixed upstream
- node-argparse #868294 might be fixed upstream
- node-evp-bytestokey fails and is deprecated. #868298

Also i'm using nodejs 6 from experimental for some time now, and i don't
see breakage.

Ben file:

title = "nodejs";
is_affected = .build-depends ~ /nodejs-dev/;
is_good = .depends ~ /nodejs-abi-48/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /nodejs-abi-46/;


Regards,

Jérémy
