"util.puts: Use console.log instead" issue

[slavafomin]

Hello there!

When i run "lessc" command i'm getting some debug output all the time, see:

slava@destiny:~$ lessc --version
util.puts: Use console.log instead
lessc 1.4.2 (LESS Compiler) [JavaScript]

And all the resulted files (.less > .css) also include this line on top of them.

I'm running Xubuntu 13.04, installed LESS from with Node and NPM.

Please advise, thanks! )

Update: Looks like it's a problem with NodeJS actually.

I've completely removed nodejs, npm and less packages from my system and installed it from chris-lea PPA:

Removing the stuff:
sudo npm remove -g less
sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Updating system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Installing from scratch:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo npm install -g less

yes, unless something has become deprecated I don't think this is a problem.

util.puts() / sys.puts() are in fact deprecated in Node. I reproduced the error messages with a vanilla install of the current node master branch (currently nodejs/node-v0.x-archive@59a075e).

The deprecation warnings have become more annoying over time, not sure whether this is accidental or on purpose. When I tested by compiling Node at the original commit that deprecated them (nodejs/node-v0.x-archive@896b2aa), the deprecation is only displayed once at the top of the output. But the current Node version shows the deprecation warning after every output line.
