Hello, There has been an log struggle between the nodejs package and the node package, which is still unresolved (bug #611698 for example) And I wonder now what the future should look like.
To summarize the problem: * the nodejs upstream binary is called "node", and the upstream developers have refused to change it's binary name to nodejs for debian; * The the hamradio package "node" shipping a binary called "node", and as it's so old, the developers argue that the package must ship a binary called "node" or breakage will occur. * The reason the nodejs developers want to ship the binary as "node" is because all programs written for nodejs all has /usr/bin/node in it's shebang * the nodejs package are not allowed to conflict on the node package just because the binary name is the same As I'm not a hamradio user, I'm off course biased towards letting nodejs having the "node" binary and let it pass to testing. But we must find a solution to this, as nodejs is getting more and more used, and developers are forced to install nodejs from source to be able to use it instead of install it via the package manager.
