[Gabriel Hurley <Gabriel.Hurley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm confident in saying that the official gates are on Ubuntu (particularly the devstack integration tests). I can't swear that there isn't *some* Fedora testing going on in the CI. I'm only as involved with the CI team as I need to be to keep moving things forward ;-)

Good to know,

I thought that fedora was being ran as well in the CI env.

If not, I will try my best to get somebody or something here @ y! to make this happen (with fedora or rhel6)...

I agree with the larger problem of being mindful about our supported distros. That said, most of us are (at best) knowledgeable about a single distro's bundled packages. This is amplified by the fact that our CI infrastructure is only gated on a single distro (Ubuntu) currently.

As you noted, the nodejs.tchol.org site seems to offer useful resources for running node on Fedora.

If someone would like to work up a quick writeup of best-practices for installing/configuring node.js on Fedora (I'm not a Fedora user, sorry) I'd be happy to help get it included in the docs.

So was there thought about the fedora and other distributions when adding this as a dependency.

I thought we were going to try to support both, but if a package is currently only in a single distribution, that makes it hard to develop on both.

Not sure if this is valid, and it might be helpful: http://nodejs.tchol.org/

It seems like this hairy wart is coming back up again, ie, not including stuff on only one distro, or at least planning ahead accordingly to how the other distros can get it... This is especially important in CI/integration tests, where now without a special package, how can this stuff be tested in the other distros...
