However, Googling for Node.js tutorials and documentation actually reveal that people usually *don't* use #!, which would avoid the conflict, and instead run "node <file>". Which means when both packages are installed, which node they get depends on what their PATH looks like, which is the sort of conflict that we try to avoid. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
