This fork was intended to create a package that would act as a given version of Node, much as the node package does, but using the mechanism of the node-bin-gen package to eliminate the need for intermediate node-{os}-{cpu} packages.
Before it was finished, two things happened that made it unnecessary for the project at hand:
- @aridridel added the missing
node-{os}-{cpu}@{version}combination (node-darwin-x64@6.10.3) - AWS Lambda added support for Node 8.10
Generate a node binary package
$ npm install -g node-bin-gen$ node-bin-gen {node,iojs} version [pre]Use a pre version if you're testing.
Warning: requires npm@>=3 to install the generated packages globally!
This package generates a node-bin or iojs-bin package, and all of the node-{os}-{cpu} packages, which are installed by the main metapackage (and as a hack, added to the package.json of node-bin at install time as a dependency to keep npm from marking it extraneous..
