Hey there I can answer this bit:

If I get my changes accepted by node-gyp and NPM, could > that land in Node 12? Typically we do npm releases every two weeks. Releases are tested under a pre-release tag in this period and when the new release is cut the previous one is promoted to latest (assuming there weren't any problems to block that). Releases are downstreamed to Node.js at the time that they're initially done, but they don't land until a few weeks after they're tagged as latest in the registry. Overall, this means that when things are going normally Node sees new npms landing every two weeks, but that it may be a month between the change landing in npm and it landing in Node. We ordinarily update dependencies with every release of npm, so just getting your change into node-gyp and getting a release done is enough for us to pull it into npm. However, it doesn't hurt to ping us when that happens to make sure we get your update promptly. That's best done at https://npm.community You can certainly get an updated node-gyp into an npm in Node 12. Node 12 hasn't even had its initial release yet, and when it has it will be under active development for quite a while, so even if your patch isn't ready in time to land for Node 12, it will be able to be included in a later release. -- Rebecca -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
