Yes, packaging of plv8 is pretty complicated. If one decided to ship RPM package with plv8, it would mean maintenance of whole v8 language - which is incredibly complicated (incompatible changes all the time, backporting security fixes, etc.). That's the reason why plv8 (and even v8 runtime) becomes dropped from Linux distributions. [1] https://github.com/plv8/plv8/issues/281 Pavel
