Description SchAmane 2012-01-20 09:00:09 UTC

New version is out.

One more question, can we have "static" (or something like that) USE Flag to compile against embedded v8 ?

+  20 Jan 2012; Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> +nodejs-0.6.8.ebuild,
+  -nodejs-0.6.7.ebuild:
+  Bump for #399473


why the embedded v8? that only sounds like an extra pain point to work around inferior tools that are not portage ...

Comment 2 SchAmane 2012-01-20 12:48:18 UTC

Official Nodejs is always compiled against some specific v8 version, like 0.6.8 is packaged with 3.6.6.19.
But you right, it looks strange in scope of portage...

Comment 3 SchAmane 2012-01-20 12:50:57 UTC

Also bug: Numeric key hash collision fix for V8 (Erik Corry, Fedor Indutny) probably fixed not in nodejs code, but in the v8 code. I am not sure here, have to take time to check (have currently not much time for that).
So probably the bug still exist in 0.6.8 node version on gentoo.
