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 ?

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

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 :)
