Thank you for the info, Jakob. As usual, Redhat/CentOS are left behind compared to OpenSuse, Debian and Ubuntu who have v8 and nodejs available in their stable repos. I was simply trying to help and produce more recent rpm's. The latest version available for Redhat is 3.6.6.25. Even Fedora Rawhide is running their latest rpm version at 3.8.9. Based in your useful advice, I will create the rpm using the 3.11 branch. I do have a question related to versioning. Do you recommend me to use the major.minor.build versioning or should I also add the stability fixes number to the rpm package? I see Fedora using only the x.xx.xx model. -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users
