Well, upstream may have bad feelings about it, but from my point of view Debian did the right thing, and by helping realize that "node" was a poor name choice for an executable, actually helped upstream on the longer run. In any case Debian users of node.js are users of node.js (welcome to the tautology club). As upstream, one reason I value packaging early my own software under Debian is precisely that it helps me spot conflicts with unrelated software. Kind regards, Thibaut. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJQduwEAAoJEJOUU0jg3ChAjb0QALKqLDnxmJPJ44X+lfHOGWOP 5TK4RUXS6AXodQhtkDQAK1lPdO8ykl7G008I7oG6chyIGy6wE1JrPutXRUSwtMIU izZmxtamSm494em3Ehvt33wkDoMcHqfw0BaA/GI9/Ww+UedVZncjYZSQkwT6CeQx OTdm0mb9oXPcsDKR89heRT2d9XZkgI8cUE9HdfKa+UGpQz32qZ28a9roPw+oxfZd yFsJ2qbUHBvQRRoa768WitmfEZP2tGM6B/pfV+QWI1T3p/MoK8JCBhf/OKr3xk3P Gi0V1kHIn1ZMSIj98/osvLWZHKUvdXEhIu/0/7khX/V3e7NjhZdyogqAofEz89TG ydgY9bSrpVbi2fqA1+iUwLmZW2E3wJON+JNJ2dc7e65eJXdaB4cRz9dJxurQLOyo ELSwH4UqIAHzduLGha7C6M+/j3K1rIENeQt4zb63jAoxO8tkrTAjdrT/6pXUYa/a Yh3Q8TNR/PfsqwE+VnG97REGhhYBQJ0L2qR8MrDFBVumYMQrS83JCIfPUrJIUEO6 JNrhijV/gAV7eE+hUHdOG0ecZumJJn3ZfyUGH2HA8AOg4dcAvZcnr+BtGBl8Yrj8 qIbXvtpSaNWzrLDnQdwvrpUIA+P8GUja7njDXkVewCoAS6BYqKSJGPOC8rH3CIkv EyLC44VPNkm4IolSQuWq =g8ok -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
