doesn't build with nodejs 0.10

[anarcat]

is this expected? it's hard for me to find a 0.8 install - debian has 0.6 or 0.10...

I managed to build it with debian 0.10. The problem was that the native cod building tool node-waf turned into node-gyp. I was able to build by changing the dependency version for libxmljs in package.json from 0.5.x to 0.8x.

On the other hand I'm now getting segfaults when it runs for a few minutes.

It's quite a problem that the HTTP API doesn't work with node v0.10 (and only with 0.6), as the webclient, on the other hand, needs a recent node version to build the minified JS with grunt. This means you need to Node.js versions installed at once for a complete buddycloud setup, which is quite a pain.

[lloydwatkin]

This is really an issue with node-stringprep rather than the API server (although as a dependency obviously its a problem). I haven't had time to convert node-stringprep from node-waf to node-gyp for that project. Would happily accept a pull request for it :) Otherwise it'll be in my list of things to do, I agree this is a PITA for buddycloud install.
