upgrade to lastest nodejs version?

[Matt Walters]

Hi,

What's the best way to upgrade to the latest Node version?

Looks like the version in opkg has been pegged to v4.3.1 for nearly a year: https://github.com/OnionIoT/OpenWRT-Packages/blob/master/nodejs/Makefile#L4 We're now up to v8.9.1, stable.

Does this just need a PR to get merged?
Is there another recommended way for installing Node?

Note, I attempted to install n to use as a version manager, but there were some problems associated with the limited linux environment.

Thanks,

Matt

I went ahead and created a pull request for this at https://github.com/OnionIoT/OpenWRT-Packages/pull/11.

I'm not sure what testing step should be taken to make sure it works. Can someone share those with me?

Is there a way of pointing opkg at my fork instead of the normal repo, in order to test?

Thanks,

Matt

@Matt-Walters you could try entering a url for the address you keep the files into
/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
