Source0 for nodejs modules
by Piotr Popieluch 03 Dec '18

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.

Future of nodejs-0.10
by Jeff Hickson 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hello all, First, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I did a good deal of looking, and here seemed like the best place. I've done some significant looking through various sources of information, including asking on IRC, though I wasn't able to find any real direct answers to my question. The best I could find was a link to https://fedoramagazine.org/node-js-6-x-lts-coming-epel-7/ which stated that for EL7, nodejs-0.10 was being just changed to 6.x. This doesn't explicitly say anything about EL6 though, which brings me to the actual question. Since CVE-2017-11499 covers pretty much every version of NodeJS ( source: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2017-security-releases/ ) I was wondering if the fix was going to be backported, or if the NodeJS-0.10 (and 0.12) line was going to be completely dropped, with removal of the packages from the repo, or something else entirely? I'm more just hoping to find a more official word on the plans for this. I can look through Koji and see that it's been untouched since October last year, and I can look through mailing list posts for the last 12 months, but I can't really find anything stating the plans for the package. Cheers,
