That sounds like a Change Proposal for F28.
So your idea would be to mass-retire all but the most common or security-sensitive NPMs from Fedora and rely on bundling in most cases?
That will also mean coming up with a strategy for removing those unbundled packages on updates. Thoughts on that?
For the sake of maintainability, I'd like to leave as little packages as possible.that nobody has time to fix and/or feels like fixing, because updating one module might/will break several others.I was wondering, could we use bundling and clean up the mess that is current nodejs stack in Fedora?To be more precise, there are currently over 2000 packages and over 500 nodejs-* is available bugs,On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 6:45 PM, Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh@redhat.com> wrote:On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 8:06 AM Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh@redhat.com> wrote:I haven't had any time to work on it, but I'd very much like to develop an automatic RPM dependency generator that will recurse down the node_modules directories, read their package.json files and automatically create those Provides. If anyone else wants to take a crack at doing that, it would be an immense help.A big thank-you needs to go to Tomas Tomacek for https://pagure.io/nodejs-packaging/pull-request/2 which is now in effect on Fedora 28 (Rawhide) builds.So now any Node.js package that is built in Fedora will automatically have `Provides: bundled(nodejs-foo)` added automatically.______________________________________________________________________________________________
