Hi guix, I've just sent out the v2 series to bump Node.js and friends: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/74187
In this proposed series of patches, the version of Node.js (node@10.24.1) we use to bootstrap node-llhttp-bootstrap becomes a hidden package. As per my reading of the policy w.r.t. 'removing' public packages, consider this message the start of the 1 month notice period to speak up and mitigate potential breakage [0]. AFAICS I took care of fixing everything within guix proper, but things can break in branches other than master, and in external channels. Please reply with any concerns, and cc 74...@debbugs.gnu.org for good measure. Some soft landing options: 1. Define a deprecated-package that aliases the 'node' variable to 'node-lts'. I'd prefer not doing this, as in the medium term it would be nice to have a proper 'node' package that actually tracks the latest releases. 2. Add an entry in news.scm. Kind regards, - Jelle [0]: https://xkcd.com/1172/
