[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#904274: nodejs: Debian nodejs is not ABI-compatible with upstream nodejs

[Jérémy Lal]

Package: nodejs
Followup-For: Bug #904274

So if i still think clear about this, the practical thing we,
debian maintainers, need to do, is follow
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22237/commits/e47d5c6ff9426074184d508c113c85fe93629b05
TLDR "make a custom NODE_MODULE_VERSION".

However the difference of upstream updates pace (mainly caused by openssl),
makes it more and more appealing to compile bundled openssl in nodejs,
instead of the shared debian openssl lib. Side effect: maybe the ABI won't change.
I'm trying right now to compile nodejs --shared without shared openssl but it fails with gcc,
see https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/23195 (any clue to solve this is welcome).
