Re: [IBMiOSS] Installing Node vx with yum

Kevin,

Upgrade in place? I've tried that with previous versions, it doesn't
work. I wouldn't want to do that. Sure, it "may" work, but from my
experience you're asking for problems especially with all the dependencies
that each shop/project could have.

I'd personally rather have it so they are placed in their own directories
for versions. That's just me, though. And I would try chroot but it's
obviously not working for me. So that's another dependency I have to worry
about.

Brad, we haven't decided how we'll do version upgrades with node at the
moment. It could be that when we get to the next LTS version of Node.js
(v10, presumably), we'll migrate to separate node8 and node10 packages
or
just upgrade node in-place (possibly in its own repository) or something
else. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but the nice thing is
that yum/rpm has nice mechanisms to make the migration (if any) easy.

weird.. I didn't see those listed in the available packages. thanks..

How about versioning... what's the best way to keep them separate
using
this method?
