The technical committee was asked in bug #862051 to
revisit the decision in<br>
bug #614907 (conflict between the ax25-node package and
the nodejs package).<br>
<br>
=== Resolution ===<br>
<br>
The Technical Committee recognises that circumstances
change in ways<br>
that make previous resolutions no longer appropriate. In
2012, it was<br>
resolved that the nodejs package should not provide
/usr/bin/node due to<br>
the historical conflict with the ax25-node package.
Node.js is still<br>
quite popular and the ax25-node package is no longer in
stable, testing<br>
or unstable so the requirement for nodejs to not provide
/usr/bin/node<br>
no longer applies.<br>
<br>
The Committee therefore resolves that:<br>
<br>
1. The CTTE decision from 2012-07-12 in bug #614907 is
repealed.<br>
<br>
This means Debian's normal policies and practices take
over and the<br>
nodejs package is free to provide /usr/bin/node. The
migration should<br>
be managed according to Debian's usual
backwards-compatibility<br>
arrangements.<br>
<br>
=== End Resolution ===<br>

<p>Once that is done, I will tweak
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Manual">https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Manual</a> and
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs">https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs</a> for new team members if
you like.</p>
<p>Should we eventually add something to the buster release notes to
warn those users/developers that might have been unaware of
nodejs-legacy, and developed their own stuff using
/usr/bin/nodejs? Or is that likely to be a rare situation?</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
