Re: Nodejs in horizon

 

That's what I was worried about, and why I (just my opinion) think that we need to be a lot stricter about vetting new dependencies.

There needs to be time given to say, ensuring that its really needed, if it really is, documenting why it has to be there in depth, getting various PTL's to agree on that, then comes the process of informing and/or discussing with the distributions about how to get that supported (if it isn't). That second stage might influence the first and so on.

Since problems like this, although yes, it slows down development overall, seem necessary in a larger project with multiple distributions being enabled (for development usage and for actual prod. usage).

It actually is a problem for Fedora.  node.js is not in Fedora.  Once
Horizon requires node.js, it will be broken for Fedora (and EPEL for use
with RHEL and its derivatives).
