F25 Self Contained Change: Node.js 6.x

[Jan Kurik]

As this Change is already implemented in rawhide, this announcement is
done mostly for "record only" purpose to increase awareness about the
changes it implements.

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Node.js 6.x =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NodeJS6x

Change owner(s):
* Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh AT redhat DOT com>

Fedora 25 will be updated to Node.js 6.x, the latest LTS release of
the platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building
fast, scalable network applications.

== Detailed Description ==
Node.js has seen many changes between v4.x and v6.x. [There is a
listing of changes documented on the wiki for [5.x and 6.x Note that
this release includes API updates that may require dependency updates.

Upstream maintains an exhaustive list of interesting changes here.

These are just some of the changes you can find in this release of
v5.x, and it's thanks to the hard work of the community and the
members of team curating Node.js.

Node.js 6.x will be under active development until October 2016, at
which time it will enter its long-term stable release, which will be
maintained actively through April 2018 (after the expected release of
Fedora 27) and for security issues for another year after that.


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
- Update nodejs
- Rebuild all binary modules, apply patches as necessary

* Other developers:
- Other Node.js packagers' attention may be required if the update
causes issues for their packages.

* Release engineering: N/A

* Policies and guidelines:
- No expected changes

* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Note: this is just libuv and the nodejs interpreter. Since it's a
compatibility-breaking upgrade, no guarantees that it will work with any of the
packages in Fedora 24, but I would expect it to work with anything npm allows
you to install.
