iojs build permutations

Package manager build choices

work in progress: gotta find them all

This document outlines how packages in respective distributions/package managers chooses to build node and/or io.js. It's meant to act as a baseline for which build permutations we [the iojs build team] might be interested in testing as an addition to a fully static executable.

If iojs isn't available through a PM, latest available nodejs version will be listed instead.

todo

• find more pm's
• find out which architectures we care about (x32)

Linux

• Arch (nodejs 0.10.36): shared openssl (there seems to be a few community builds for iojs but I'll hold of their testing stuff)
• Debian (nodejs 0.10.29): shared v8, cares, openssl, zlib
• Gentoo (iojs 1.2.0): shared icu, http-parser, libuv, zlib, openssl

BSD

• Freebsd ports (iojs 1.2.0): shared zlib
• NetBSD pkgsrc (nodejs 0.10.37): no shared
• homebrew (iojs 1.2.0): no shared (optional icu)
