Right, a handful of upstream tests will fail - sometimes or always depending on the test. If you have a low number of test failures, you can assume you have a working installation of nodejs :) Jérémy -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
