Distributions: focal fossa nodejs packages

[dg14]

it's impossible to install nodejs into focal fossa using packages from eoan. it reports an error saying that python-minimal is not installable.

(probably it's better to use python2-minimal as dependency).

Support for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa will begin when it has been officially released. This will be >on April 23, 2020 if everything goes according to plans.
Thank you for your patience!
N.B. the python-minimal/python2-minimal handling has been taken into account in our plans.

hi @igsu, the creation of fossa packages from is very simple, you have to change python-minimal in python2-minimal, in DEBIAN/control.

if someone want to try:

#!/bin/bash
dpkg-deb -R nodejs_12.16.1-1nodesource1_amd64.deb tmp
cd tmp
cat DEBIAN/control| sed -e 's/python-minimal/python2-minimal/g'|sed -e 's/nodesource1/nodesource2/g' > DEBIAN/control.tmp ; cat DEBIAN/control.tmp > DEBIAN/control ; rm DEBIAN/control.tmp
cd ..
dpkg-deb -b tmp nodejs_12.16.1-1nodesource2_amd64.deb

dpkg-deb -b tmp nodejs_12.16.1-1nodesource2_amd64.deb 

Used this technique to install nodejs on my 20.04 docker

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:20.04

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive

RUN /usr/bin/apt-get update
RUN /usr/bin/apt-get upgrade -y
RUN /usr/bin/apt-get install -y wget curl pulseaudio xvfb firefox ffmpeg xdotool curl unzip nodejs

# INSTALL NODE HACK
COPY nodesource.sh /
RUN /nodesource.sh 

nodesource.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -xeo pipefail

wget https://deb.nodesource.com/node_12.x/pool/main/n/nodejs/nodejs_12.16.1-1nodesource1_amd64.deb
dpkg-deb -R nodejs_12.16.1-1nodesource1_amd64.deb tmp
cd tmp

cd ..
dpkg-deb -b tmp nodejs_12.16.1-1nodesource2_amd64_new.deb 
apt install ./nodejs_12.16.1-1nodesource2_amd64_new.deb -y

Why dont they release also source packages? Doing a sha256sum of binaries,
they are the same as nodejs.org ones.
