[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#838440: nodejs: can't migrate to testing because of lack of armel binaries

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Source: nodejs
Version: 4.4.7~dfsg-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

I see you dropped support for armel in #818552 and requested the removal
of the outdated armel binaries. That's fine. However, nodejs doesn't
migrate to testing because the lack of armel binaries breaks a number
of packages that depend on nodejs on armel:

trying: nodejs
skipped: nodejs (15, 0, 81)
    got: 68+546: a-3:i-18:a-0:a-11:a-0:m-0:m-0:p-35:p-0:s-1:m-546
    * armel: node-almond, node-groove, node-iconv, node-leveldown, node-node-expat, node-sqlite3, node-topcube, node-websocket, node-ws, node-xmlhttprequest, qtwebchannel5-examples

Those need to get their armel binaries removed as well.

Or perhaps, if the version in experimental works on armel (it still has
armel binaries) you could try to get that uploaded to sid?

Cheers,
Emilio
