Thanks, that's much appreciated. I've pushed my initial changes for node-mapnik 3.5.8 to Alioth. > FYI node-pre-gyp is a useless module in debian because it is made to > download binaries from remote sources instead of properly compiling. Currenly `node-gyp configure` fails with: gyp: Undefined variable module_path in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp If it's possible to fix that by using the system provided dependencies, it may be feasible to get node-mapnik working again.
