[Pkg-javascript-devel] debian-js at lists.debian.org, nodejs transition

[Jérémy Lal]

Actually you already have that information, but let me be clear about it:
- nodejs transitions in same Major versions are uncoordinated - they are
supposed to go well.
- nodejs transitions to other Major version - 12 here - are going to cause
troubles (even if not that much) so will be announced.

Does this answer your question?
