Not many nodejs fans in Gentoo land it seems. My suggestion would be to make it all work and neat in an overlay, then see if you can convince someone to add it into the tree, or I guess proxy. The dependency list sure is long. :( I made an effort with the scala one but hit a roadblock with a magic circular dependency between two java packages one of which would need to be split into two ebuilds - which was too much java surgery for me to manage. I might be able help with the MySQL problem, but yeah, if I had time I would make an etherpad overlay with dev-nodejs/ and all those deps. //Peter
