There is an updated pull request by paper42 against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/paper42/void-packages node-lts-16 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/40106 nodejs: merge with nodejs-lts Nodejs versioning says that every even release (12, 14, 16, 18) is an LTS release. The `nodejs` package currently uses version 16 which is a supported LTS version, `nodejs-lts` uses version 12 which is EOL and very old. Many packages use nodejs-lts for building, but then depend on the nodejs virtual package which defaults to nodejs, many packages don't work with old nodejs-lts and people couldn't have both installed. If we need to, we can always split nodejs-lts again, but right now I don't see a reason to do so. Alpine merged their nodejs-lts package to nodejs and provides nodejs-current for the latest version for development. This is a draft for now for comments and for checking if every package that used nodejs-lts still builds with nodejs 16. #### Testing the changes - I tested the changes in this PR: **NO** A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/40106.patch is attached
