nodejs for arm

Postby mpadilla2 » Fri Nov 02, 2018 4:51 pm

Hello,

First off, thank you so much for the work that goes into supporting arm devices.

I noticed recently that http-parser and npm were upgraded but nodejs was not. When I search packages on the website I see that armv6 and 7 have nodejs but arm does not.

I'd like to request that nodejs be added back to arm.

Thank you so much!

You realize you're talking about ARMv5te?

Likely, we had to take it out due to maintenance requirements of keeping it building on floating-point-less systems. I put a _lot_ of hours into that in the past, and it was never fun.

Yes, I do realize it's for armv5te as that is the device that I have. Thank you for all your work put into it in the past. So it sounds like it's not coming back as a package? That's unfortunate. Thank you for taking a look.
