= Proposed Self Contained Change: io.js Technology Preview =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/iojs

Change owner(s): T.C. Hollingsworth <tchollingsworth at gmail dot com>

io.js is an npm compatible platform originally based on Node.js™ that supports \
version 6 of the ECMAScript standard and additional features, developed with an open \
governance model. io.js will be offered as an optional replacement for \
`/usr/bin/node` on Fedora systems as a Technology Preview. node.js will remain the \
default implementation of `/usr/bin/node` in Fedora 23. 

== Detailed Description ==
io.js is an npm compatible platform originally based on Node.js™ that supports \
version 6 of the ECMAScript standard and additional features, developed with an open \
governance model. For more information about io.js and the differences between \
node.js, visit the io.js website.

io.js will support the same set of binary modules currently supported by node.js on \
Fedora. It is expected to be obsoleted by a future version of the `nodejs` package, \
as these two projects have announced their intention to merge.

We will support both parallel-installation of the iojs interpreter alongside the \
existing node.js interpreter, and permit replacement of `/usr/bin/node` with io.js in \
an additional package. All existing noarch nodejs-* packages will work with both \
interpreters. (Though obviously you'll have to specify iojs if you haven't installed \
it the /usr/bin/node support package.) Seperate nodejs-* and iojs-* will be provided \
for binary modules. 

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
  -- Package and build a special v8 package for io.js only.
  -- Package and build iojs
  -- Update nodejs guidelines for multiple interpreters
  -- Rebuild modules with above changes
  -- Anything that needs updates for Node.js 0.12 will need it for io.js too. 
* Other developers:
  -- Anything that needs updates for Node.js 0.12 will need it for io.js too. 
* Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) 
* Policies and guidelines:
  -- Updates to the node.js guidelines and packaging infrastructure to permit \
building binary modules for multiple interpreters will be necessary. (These are also \
necessary to allow for a nodejs010/nodejs012 split in EPEL, so will get done anyway.) \
                
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
