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 Pkg-javascript-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel

Makes sense. 6 has been available since May though, right? Why wasn't it uploaded earlier? npm was not updated for over 3 years and was removed from stretch. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=870460 My motivation for updating it was for gitlab (I'd have been happy with even npm 1.4 as I only wanted 'npm install yarn' from npm) and 5.x was perfectly suitable, not only for my usecase but that was the latest upstream version at that time (5.8 is also available in stretch-backports). Now yarn (node-yarnpkg) is already packaged and I don't have any motivation to keep npm updated. Its a team maintained package and anyone is free to update it (just like how I updated it to 5.x from 1.x).

Starting 2019-02-12, only small, targeted fixes are appropriate for buster. https://release.debian.org/buster/freeze_policy.html So we are not expected to upload new upstream releases. but we can try for buster + 1 or possibly buster-backports. npm 6 has been available for some time.. If that introduce any rc bugs, there won't be enough time to fix it and I don't want to risk it at this point. -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
