The technical committee was asked in bug #862051 to revisit the decision in bug #614907 (conflict between the ax25-node package and the nodejs package). === Resolution === The Technical Committee recognises that circumstances change in ways that make previous resolutions no longer appropriate. In 2012, it was resolved that the nodejs package should not provide /usr/bin/node due to the historical conflict with the ax25-node package. Node.js is still quite popular and the ax25-node package is no longer in stable, testing or unstable so the requirement for nodejs to not provide /usr/bin/node no longer applies. The Committee therefore resolves that: 1. The CTTE decision from 2012-07-12 in bug #614907 is repealed. This means Debian's normal policies and practices take over and the nodejs package is free to provide /usr/bin/node. The migration should be managed according to Debian's usual backwards-compatibility arrangements. === End Resolution === Please see http://bugs.debian.org/862051 for discussion of this bug. -- Tollef Fog Heen, for the technical committee UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
