Current 2015.03 buildroot contains NodeJS 0.10.36

Is there a way to customly configure the package to 0.11.* or 0.12.*?

The reason for the newer NodeJS version is that IPv6 is not fully supported in 0.10.*



I tried to change Config.mk

- NODEJS_VERSION = 0.10.36 
+ NODEJS_VERSION = 0.12.0


And then I changed nodejs-remove-python-bz2-dependency.patch



However, I am getting the make error:

../deps/v8/src/base/atomicops_internals_arm_gcc.h:258:4: error: #error "Your CPU's ARM architecture is not supported yet"


Is there an easy way to update the NodeJS package?
Is my only option to add NodeJS 0.12.0 as a custom package?

Thanks!

Well, just adjust nodejs.mk. And then, send a patch to the Buildroot
mailing list, so that we can integrate this update in the official
Buildroot.

I guess you meant nodejs.mk here.

For which ARM target are you trying to build?

Why would you want to add another package? Just improve the existing
nodejs package.

The V8 version used in Node.js dropped support for ARMv5. That's why I
stick to Node.js 0.10.

Maybe we can support v0.10 (Maintance) and v0.12 (Stable) in Buildroot?
