No, it's just the noise regarding nodejs version that I'd like to avoid. In general it's nice to have the latest stable versions in a release though, as in other cases you do hit bugs or features that aren't available due to an older version being present. -- Olaf -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
