So we need to resolve the problem asap. > Storyboard does not have this issue as it is infra thing. As far as I know, those tools don't require different nodejs versions. But: we can not have different node.js versions installed at the same time. I assume, this is true for all distributions. Creating and maintaining parallel installable versions just sucks and causes many issues. In the past, customers wanted the complete tool-chain to modify their version of dashboard. I understand, this is not an issue, for all companies not distributing software, but directly providing services based on that software. I will have to go through all dependencies and do a review, if those are acceptable for inclusion e.g in Fedora. The same is true for Thomas Goirand for inclusion in Debian. > > Petr Belanyi has added optional jshint install for js linting into > Horizon and it installs nodejs as it depends on it.

This is the third time the same issue comes up. jshint is NOT free software. https://github.com/jshint/jshint/blob/master/src/jshint.js#L19 Matthias _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
