As I already said, I would like have Mocha (and other test-suits) in Debian... Now, let's talk about test suits: What's the main difference between npm and apt? AFAIU, the first one permits to have/install more than one version of packageX, while apt can only install (by default) the latest version of a package. So... what's happen when a module_X depends on a module_Y (version 1.0) and module_Y get a release (major) upgrade? We can't know.. unless if we tries to automatically do some check, maybe during re-builds, having tests enabled for package. After some search I have seen that most test frameworks used are: * Mocha * Should * NodeUnit * Expresso * jsUnit * Jasmine So.. I'm trying to achieve this: enable tests during node-* packages build phase in order to discover anomalies and help upstream to keep their projects update with dependencies new releases. Does this sound reasonable to your old_contributor ears or I am wasting my (and yours) time?
