Planning for Node.js 0.12.x

I was talking with Igor Gnatenko today about libuv 0.11.x. He has a
package (neovim) that requires the newer libuv to operate.
I explained to him that updating libuv to 0.11.x in Fedora would
necessitate the chain-reaction of updating Node.js, npm and many if
not most of the packages that depend on it.
Igor suggested that we could start doing this in Rawhide now,
post-branch. I'm a little bit wary of doing this directly in Rawhide,
primarily because Joyent has provided no clear target date for the
stable release of 0.12.x (and I'm concerned that if it's not ready in
time for Fedora 22 Alpha, we might have a problem). Igor and I have
contacted Joyent to ask them if they can put a ballpark date on the
release.
In the meantime, I'm going to start putting together a COPR
repository[1] containing the unstable bits. I think it's probably a
good idea for us to at least start exploring what set of packages will
work with the new Node.js and which ones are going to break.
I'm definitely the wrong person to do most of this, so I'd like to ask
any subscriber on this list who is interested in helping to respond
with their FAS ID so I can add them to the permission list on the
COPR. Then they can start performing builds in the COPR.
I will hopefully start with libuv and Node.js 0.11.x this afternoon or
tomorrow morning.

lodash-node
by Tom Hughes
I have an existing package that has a new version with a dependency on
lodash-node so I was trying to package it but ran into the question of
exactly what it is and how to deal with it...
We have lodash packaged already and as bast I can figure out lodash-node
is the result of using lodash-cli to build node modules from lodash.
Though I'm not sure what that means when lodash is already a node module?!?
In any case does that mean I should package lodash-cli first and then
make the lodash-node package do that build step?

EPEL7 status
by T.C. Hollingsworth
Unfortunately, I only now just noticed that uglify-js1 was missing
from the list of packages to branch. This is deep within the dep
chain for nodejs-tap, so a lot of packages are missing the necessary
deps to run %check.
Please ignore any failed builds for now, I'll finish things up once
uglify-js1 is branched.
Thanks!
