Description Jan Staněk 2025-10-17 09:51:22 UTC
The %{nodejs_sitelib} designates a root path into which rpm should install npm modules. Currently, it is (in a bit of hackish way) set to point to the versioned version of /usr/lib/node_modules_XY.

After the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NodejsNodeModulesPath was accepted, I think it should start pointing to the "shared" /usr/lib/node-modules instead, so anyone interested in installing a module via rpm (for example see bug#2404330) can do so easily and not having to care about the versioning.

The change should be land-able across all the active Fedoras – even where the change did not yet land, the `/usr/lib/node_modules -> node_modules_XY` symlink should ensure the real path in the packages do not change even if the macro does. (This warrants verification.)

Reproducible: Always

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
