Description Tomáš Mózes 2015-12-17 17:54:19 UTC

Running npm install with libuv 1.7.0 caused freezes. I've tried version 1.7.5 and the problem went away (tried on 2 machines).

Please consider removing from portage if nothing else depends on it.

I've tried nodejs 0.12.x and also 4.1.x and 4.2.x, had problems with all versions.

Comment 2 Johan Bergström 2016-01-14 23:51:14 UTC

We should bump libuv to 1.8.0 since it's required for nodejs 5.4+.

Comment 3 Johan Bergström 2016-03-10 03:51:21 UTC

libuv 1.8.0 is available and depended upon for 5.x and soon 4.x. Does this work for you?

Comment 4 Tomáš Mózes 2016-03-10 06:28:43 UTC

Yes, just tested libuv-1.8.0 with nodejs-5.7.1, works like a charm!
