Would be great to get some of the features of newer version of nodejs, like profiling and performance improvements.
Node.js 0.12 will be introduced to the main package collection in Fedora 23. Unfortunately it is too late for Fedora 22, which is already rapidly approaching its Alpha release. Ordinarily, we would have introduced 0.11.x to rawhide some time ago so we could have it ready for F22. However, the nodejs 0.12 release took longer than everyone expected, and with uncertainty in the community with regards to forks, governance, etc., we decided to leave 0.10 alone until things were sorted out. However, I will be making 0.12 RPMs available for early adopters soon so you won't have to wait till Fedora 23 if you don't want to. I'll let you know here when they are available.
I don't see any 0.12 builds on https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/nodejs/builds/
Hi everyone, @T.C. Hollingsworth Im interested in node.js 0.12 too, but in EPEL7. Will the repo version for EL7 follow the Fedora one regarding nodejs version ?
BTW, new TLS fix in node 0.10.39 : http://blog.nodejs.org/2015/06/22/node-v0-10-39-maintenance/
(In reply to Cristian Ciupitu from comment #2) > I don't see any 0.12 builds on > https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/nodejs/builds/ I'll be filing a nodejs 0.12 Change request for F23 today, as today is the deadline for that. :-) It should be in Rawhide in early July.

Will > the repo version for EL7 follow the Fedora one regarding nodejs version ? I'd eventually like to do parallel-installable nodejs 0.10 and 0.12 packages in EPEL. We won't just upgrade 0.10 users to 0.12, however, due to EPEL's maintenance policy: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies (In reply to Salim B. from comment #4) > BTW, new TLS fix in node 0.10.39 : > http://blog.nodejs.org/2015/06/22/node-v0-10-39-maintenance/ nodejs in Fedora uses the shared library of openssl used by all other software in the distribution. When the main "openssl" package is updated with security fixes like this, they are automatically picked up by our build of nodejs. We'll still update to 0.10.39 soon for the non-SSL related bugfixes, however.
Here's the plans for Node.js related things in Fedora 23: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NodeJS012 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/npm2 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/iojs I'll try and write up something similar for EPEL for tracking purposes, though it isn't required as it is in Fedora.

Good to hear :) When you'll be doing the firsts builds of Node.js 0.12 for EPEL 7, I'd be able to test it on our environments. Don't hesitate to contact me this can help you in the process.
@T.C. Hollingsworth Hi, you were going to make early adopters packages available. Is that still the plan or did you change your mind. I really want to use 0.12. Greetings
Via: https://nodejs.org/dist/ v4.1.2/ 05-Oct-2015 21:35 - There was a major version bump.

Current stable is now 5.1.0
Hi, is there an update to this? I just noticed the node team have a LTS release plan. Is this something fedora is going to follow? I dont see v5 listed as a candidiate, but v6 is. https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/
Every even major release is a LTS candidate. Current plan for fedora is 4.2.2, hopefully, it'll be ready soon.
Self-assigning. We now have a Fedora 24 Change Proposal[1] tracking this. We are going to be working in a side-tag named f24-nodejs4 for now. I have 4.2.2 mostly built, but I'm having a little trouble with the ARM side of things (i686 and x86_64 work fine). I'm working on that right now. Once that's working, I'll send out devel-announce@ email asking anyone who owns a node package to start attempting to rebuild it for Node.js 4.2.2 in the side-tag.

thanks for the update, much appreciated. If there is anything I can do to help out. Please feel free to ask.
Rawhide/Fedora 24 now has Node.js 4.3.0. Enjoy!
