The current ebuild for sys-cluster/ceph-13.2.4 has a dependency on specific nodejs versions which I propose is not necessary in its current form. NodeJS would be a necessary dependency if the manager web UI were being built, but the ebuild specifies -DWITH_MGR_DASHBOARD_FRONTEND=NO in the "mycmakeargs" variable passed to cmake. The build succeeds and ceph-mgr functions (without a web GUI) as expected with the attached patch. If -DWITH_MGR_DASHBOARD_FRONTEND=YES is set, the build does fail. The thrust of this bug report is to suggest the nodejs min/max version requirement be removed, or placed into the "mgr-frontend" USE flag if that's ever restored. The chief difficulty is the fact that NodeJS isn't slotted and other things (like Chromium) pull in a version that is newer than that which Ceph requires (installing both on a devops workstation gets hairy as a result).
