Reproducible bootstrap path for 'Node.js' based on GNU Guix
Build Node.js from source with Guix
Node.js is used directly or indirectly in the bootstrap path of most modern web browsers. Contemporary versions of Node.js depend on a HTTP parser called llhttp. Building llhttp requires an ECMAScript runtime such as Node.js to generate C sources from a declarative parser specified with TypeScript. This project aims to create a bootstrap path for Node.js in GNU Guix without relying on an existing older version of the Node.js runtime. This approach ensures there won't be an evergrowing list of insecure and unmaintained versions of Node.js required to bootstrap future versions Node.js.
