8.0.0 Release Proposal by jasnell · Pull Request #12220 · nodejs/node (original) (raw)

Okie dokie as per nodejs/build#718 & nodejs/build#740, when building a release with Node >= 8 it'll do it on CentOS 6, on Node < 8 it'll do it on CentOS 5.

I've run a test build of master and a build of v6 and they do the right thing. @jasnell when you do the release or next RC, please look into the console output of all of the centosX build nodes and see which ones shortcut, the centos6 ones should do the proper build, the others should bail early. The logic is all handled in the iojs+release *nix config scripting where we do a bunch of funky stuff to bail early on build nodes that aren't compatible with the version we're building. Pls hit me up via email or IRC if there's any urgent drama with this. 🤞 👌
