Proposal: Reboot nodejs library/modules in Fedora
by Troy Dawson 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

I am sending this to the Fedora nodejs community / SIG before sending it to fedora-devel and/or the packaging committee. I'm doing that so we (the people who actually maintain, or try to maintain, the nodejs packages) have a chance to talk and discuss things without too much thread jumping. Problem1: The current way of packaging every nodejs module/library as it's own package has created library stagnation. It is extremely hard to update any of these modules due to other modules depending on already released versions. It is also very hard to add any Fedora package that requires new nodejs libraries due to the volume of package reviews that have to happen. Problem2: Due to problem1, and other reasons, some of our major nodejs packagers are orphaning their nodejs packages. This is leading to many packages being unable to install. This is starting a downward spiral of uninstallable nodejs packages. Proposed Solution: Keep nodejs and npm in Fedora. Possibly yarn too. Get rid of all non-essential nodejs libraries. Those that are essential, bundle all their build, test, and runtime nodejs libraries. Create scripts that make it easy to bundle, and maintain, these essential nodejs libraries. If needed, create scripts that make it easy for non-nodejs packages to bundle their nodejs libraries properly. LIST OF PROBLEMS TO WORK OUT: Problem1: Currently, all the libraries/modules are links under <package>/node_modules/ and dnf doesn't like changing links into directories. Solution1: Bundled runtime libraries/modules will be in <package>/bundled_node_modules/ and all the links in <package>/node_modules/ will point there. Problem2: Many of the bundled libraries are archful, meaning they need to be compiled. What if an essential nodejs library was originally a noarch? Solution2: All bundled nodejs library packages will be treached as archful, meaning they will need to be built on each supported arch. Problem3: TBD Solution3: TBD Problem4: TBD Problem4: TBD What do you, the Fedora nodejs packagers and community think of this proposal? Does it sound ok? If so, let's start working through all the problems, finding solutions. If not, then let's find a different solution to our current crisis. Thanks for your time. Troy Dawson

Hi all, I've been a Fedora packager for years, but haven't really forayed into Node.js packaging before. Looking at packaging Bitwarden CLI, and any missing dependencies -- any advice appreciated.
