Node dependencies and packaging is totally crazy and mantaining it right with RPM (making RPM package for each node package, which may contain a single .js file with a single function) would require 100x bigger team of developers than we have. So, instead of fighting that, lets just package together as much as it is convenient. the exception may be binary packages. would be reasonable to build binary packages as standalone packages. but so far none of npm packages were binary, last time i tried to update npm -- glen ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en

Any objections? that's the most reasonable thing to do now considering how much efforts it takes to match the npm package versions that actually are able to resolve to single set of packages. i.e foo 1.0 is satisified by all depenendcies, as usually pkg2 requires foo < 1.0 and pkg3 > 1.0 so you need to have two versions of foo package. but, it must be subpackage, not part of nodejs package. %package -n npm as it's highly optional for running nodejs apps. -- glen ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en

It's basically meant that I don't use the system versions of node and npm at all because they actively fight how node works. So not just +1 but +100. (PS. I now work at npm.)
