Public bug reported:
A newer version of gyp has been packaged in Debian,
0.1+20150913git1f374df9-1 (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gyp). Of
course, due to the Ubuntu delta, this has not been synced automatically.
I discovered this when I was browsing ftbfs issues and discovered that
another packge, node-gyp, depends on this newer version. This prevents
gyp-node in -proposed from installing which in turn triggers ftbfs for
among others node-iconv and node-nan which attempt to install it as a
dependency. This is probably also what keeps it from migrating to
-release.
I've prepared a merge locally which was pretty straight-forward for this
package, but I started wondering about the fix for bug 1246730. I'm not sure
about the details here, but I wonder:
Should the version number comparison in the preinst file remain unchanged? It
currently matches the latest Ubuntu version number, but I guess changing it
might have unintended consequences such as it being run multiple times when a
user upgrades through versions.
