Source0 for nodejs modules
by Piotr Popieluch 03 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.

Node.js 5.7.1
by Stephen Gallagher 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

After a conversation with Tom Hughes the other day, I started looking at Node.js 5.7.1 for Fedora 25. One of the things we discussed was that it probably makes sense for us to switch to carrying the bundled version of npm with the nodejs package, rather than trying to maintain its ever-growing list of dependencies without breaking npm itself. I put together a COPR that all of the Node.js SIG member have access to at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/nodejs-sig/nodejs-latest/ Right now it has packages that should install on F23, F24 and Rawhide/F25 and will replace the npm package. Please test your noarch and binary modules and let me know if anything is broken. Also, if you are a member of the Node.js SIG, feel free to rebuild your binary modules in the COPR to pick up the new Node.js ABI version. These packages can be installed with: `dnf copr enable @nodejs-sig/nodejs-latest && dnf install nodejs`
