When I did my homework on creating nodejs ebuilds (not nodejs itself but packages written in node), it seems the topic has come up a few times in the past but the time commitment and general disorganization of upstream has scared off any serious attempts at packaging.
Seeing as there has been interest in nodejs packages, and in the end we could be talking 400-600+ packages, would it be possible to create dev-libs/nodejs category? I would be happy to write and proxy-maintain ebuilds for a large number of them to get things in motion. I've already opened pull request #7427 [1] for chalk and its dependencies. I'm aiming to build up to all the dependencies needed for Visual Studio Code OSS. [1]:https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/7427 ---- Herb Miller Jr.
