The package² offers basic functionality. It lacks some features like eg managing libvirt due to missing deps in Tumbleweed. Also the package so far just uses the minified aka "precompiled" JS of the release tarball as Fedora does. Might be fine for them but it's not exactly what I'd expect from a package in Factory though. OBS should really build from actual sources so eg patching the js part in the package would work. So any help to get the package to actually use Node to build the JS parts welcome.
It's generally *not* fine in Fedora either, but Fedora has a lot less tolerance for lack of maintainers for packages than most distributions, including openSUSE. Nobody kept up with maintaining the tools required to do the minification stuff (including the Cockpit team), so they fell out of the distribution.
Considering how much of a mess current NodeJS dependency packaging is in openSUSE distros, and the apparent hatred of Fedora tooling created for the same purpose (and around a million times better than what we have right now), I doubt we have any high ground here. Collaboration is apparently too hard, even if some people are trying to reach out to help us out with it.
