As a developer, I am typically not interesting in the shipped version of LanguageX is shipping with OperatingSystemY. For example, the system ruby in OSX...don't screw with it. It should be left in-tact for system-level work or shelling out from some cocoa app or what-have-you. Develop with a version manager, deploy with a CM (Chef, Puppet, CFEngine, etc.), rinse, repeat. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
