Hi Patrick,

i tried 0.7.7 and it looks good. One thing i discovered that emerge do install /bin/node and not /usr/bin/node as befor. Is it wanted to be so ?

Comment 1 SchAmane 2012-04-14 14:01:46 UTC

I also think we should mask 0.7.x first. Its seems to be stable self, but it doesn't play well with some packages. As example express.js

+  Moving node binary to /usr/bin #411947

Yeah, why not. They rewrote the build system in stupid, so now we *have* to copy files by hand in the ebuild, which makes it easy for such regressions to happen :)
