I would like to propose to drop the V8 Javascript package from Factory. As far as I know there is no other package using V8 standalone. Chromium and NodeJS are both utilizing the in-source V8 package and has no dependencies on this.
Would it be possible to make those two use the external V8? (Following "No Bundled Libraries/Programs" 'guideline')
Sadly the "working" versions of the in-source V8 differ. You would have to bundle NodeJS and Chromium and V8 builds to successful enable a working external V8, with no guaranty of fully functional NodeJS. In view of the Chromium update cycle, and view of NodeJS in server usage, this is NOT a good way to make friends with the NodeJS users. This is why I support Raymonds proposal to drop standalone V8. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
