You will find me obsessed about CryptPad for a few days. I am at DebCamp trying to evaluate the feasibility of packaging CryptPad for Debian and bringing it into FreedomBox.

@ged I am doing some initial analysis.CryptPad 5.4.1 and its dependencies are 392 unique npm packages. Our of this 167 packages are missing in Debian. Another 67 packages are available but not at the exact version required (not a problem if they are at least at the major version since Node follows semver).

I have come to the conclusion that #Debian is not good for packaging applications software, but it's great for systems software. I will continue to search for alternatives that work well with the requirements of #FreedomBox.(I expect anybody who replies to this with a contradiction to accept the challenge of Debian packaging a full NodeJS application in a reasonable amount of time and keeping up with the updates.)(1/2)

@njoseph > (I expect anybody who replies to this with a contradiction to accept the challenge of Debian packaging a full NodeJS application in a reasonable amount of time and keeping up with the updates.)I'd argue that it's upstream nodejs developers who are not being reasonable (if you take software supply chain security seriously).But I don't do JS; only saw an opportunity to take a wild swing at lazy developers.#debian
