Nodejs automated packaging
an invention by kwk
Updated over 7 years ago. No love.

Nodejs is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. It uses NPM as its packaging system.

This hackweek project will create a npm2rpm Ruby gem to fully automate creation of (openSUSE) RPM packages.

As NPM is very picky about versions, this tool will create version-specific RPM files by appending the version number to the package name.

Having nodejs-* packages is a prerequisite for Orientdb-Studio required for this hackweek project

Looking for hackers with the skills:

rpm ruby nodejs

This project is part of:

      The npm2rpm Ruby gem is reasonably functional. See this repository for packaged npm modules.

      Local builds are fine, OBS builds not. Reason is that 'npm' tries a network connection to grab a (locally installed !) package. It will return 304 (Not modified) in local builds but raises a 

      npm ERR! syscall getaddrinfo
npm ERR! code ENOTFOUND
      error in OBS.

      NPM needs to be modified to first look at its local cache before reaching out to the Internet.

      Waiting for https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5509 to get resolved.
