Hello, as a RHEL/CentOS SCL maintainer, I could spend some time maintaining Node.js in Fedora too. Between releases it might be around 10+hrs per week, otherwise I could spend around 4hrs on Fedora.
Here's the thread about LTS: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/OCOMXCNBNCS6SKIKIJMGZTQ5ZHMAZLSB/ We could always have COPR repo with latest release. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Hughes" <[email protected]> To: "Node.js on Fedora" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 2, 2016 9:29:42 AM Subject: Re: Intent to orphan nodejs On 02/06/16 07:52, Tomas Hrcka wrote: > and as you mentioned spec file seems to be in good shape thanks for that. > Do you really mean LTS release?

Non-LTS releases only have a lifespan of IIRC about 9 months, and a Fedora Release has a lifespan of 13 months. So if we don't stick to LTS then we either have to do a major version bump in a released version of Fedora or we have to backport security fixes ourselves. That's why we reverted back to node 4 for F24 having initially tried to go to node 5.
