One of the frustrating things with NodeJS packaging in Fedora is
that
because of the crazy number of dependencies between NodeJS packages, a
simple version bump in one package could cause a whole cascade of other
packages that need to be updated to newer versions to support that
dependency here.
That's why I'm only doing this in Rawhide (and I would love to have
something akin to Rawhide-testing).
The right thing to do in this case is to look at each of those
packages,
find anything that's dependent upon those packages, and make sure each
one will still work with the newer version of the package.
That will never work (long-term) without the cooperation with the
maintainers of the affected packages. I'm happy to help with any issues
caused by the update, but I would leave finding these issues to koschei.
Only other option I can think of is going the Rust route (packages only
in rawhide, anything depending on them must be a module), which I'm not
a fan of.
