Description Thomas Stein 2017-01-08 10:12:30 UTC

Hello Devs.

Can we have an net-libs/nodejs-4.7.2 ebuild? It is needed for rocketchat soonish.

thanks and cheers
t.

Reproducible: Always

Hey Thomas,
this version  is based on the old LTS,
the old stable v5.x is now suggested to upgrade to v6.x wich is actual LTS.

I think we could provide an ebuild to build it but support of this branch will
be ended soon (actively at least) in April 2017, so maybe it is better to
upgrade to v6.x wich is in gentoo !

Hello Guillaume.

Thanks for the explanation. Let's hope rocketchat supports nodejs 6 soon.

cheers
