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bug #614907 is repealed.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>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>Done - please double check someone!</p>
<p>Where are we with npm2deb. Should I submit a bug, or has it
already been fixed? Sorry - I am suck on Stretch on my laptop
(waiting for more time), so I do lots of manual fixing when
working on a new package ATM.<br>
</p>
<p>Backports - It struck me when doing the updates to the wiki that
we might need a versioned depends on nodejs <tt>[</tt><tt
class="backtick">Build-Depends: nodejs (>= </tt>4.8.3~dfsg-1~)
to make it clear for people (like Andreas Tille) that might want
to start backporting node stuff to stretch. Otherwise they will
need to add back the patches to make things work.</p>
<p>Also I note on the wiki that the "nodejs-abi" might become a
mandatory goal for Stretch! Where did we get with that? Should we
make it mandatory for Buster?<br>

<p>Cheers,</p>
