Yarn is a new node package manager that replaces the existing workflow for the
npm client or other package managers while remaining compatible with the npm
registry. It has the same feature set as existing workflows while operating
faster, more securely, and more reliably.
===> The following configuration options are available for yarn-node24-1.22.19_1:
HADOOPCOMPAT=off: hadoop2 compatibility, the yarn script is excluded
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Affects: users of USES=nodejs, www/node*, www/npm* and www/yarn*
Author: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
The current USES=nodejs has the following issues:
- www/node is not the default version while www/node16 is.
- It also means inconsistent naming of node ports.
- www/npm duplicates with www/npm-node16.
- www/yarn duplicates with www/yarn-node16.
The notable changes are introduced to fix the above issues:
- Rewrite Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk.
- Add new LTS version of nodejs (www/node18).
- Add new current version of nodejs (www/node19).
- Change default nodejs version from 16 to 18 (latest LTS),
- Use consistent naming for all supported node versions.
- Convert www/node, www/npm and www/yarn to meta ports.
After these changes:
- All supported node versions are named as node{14,16,18,19}.
- www/node is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/node18)
- www/npm is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/npm-node18)
- www/yarn is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/yarn-node18)
Reason:
The port framework was updated to use a default version for nodejs.
The default version is pointing to the latest LTS version which is
currently version 16.
You can overwrite this by defining in /etc/make.conf, e.g. version 17:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=nodejs=17
Or if you would like to stick always to the current version use:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=nodejs=current
If you would like to use yarn or npm together with nodejs version 17,
just install the package that is pulling the wanted dependency to nodejs:
# pkg install yarn-node17
# pkg install npm-node17
