[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#766484: FTBFS in a cowbuilder: Error: listen EADDRNOTAVAIL

[Jean Baptiste Favre]

Hello,
Thanks for your explanations.
I figured out tests have been modified upstream in branch 0.10.33-release, but not in master [1].

I can prepare and provide you with a patch so that nodejs could build on jessie, which could save you some time.
Would you mind sponsoring it ?

Regards,
Jean Baptiste
