[Nix-dev] nodejs 5.x failing on darwin

[Tobias Pflug]

Hey Dan,

i would be willing to help. I might just need a little intro to get the hang of it. I would in fact be very interested in ensuring that recent nodejs versions are available and buildable on both, darwin and linux - and I have both available to me as well.

So Maybe we can get in contact about this. Until then, thanks for your swift response.

br,
Tobi

At least until we figure out a way to give Linux users a local/lightweight "did I break Darwin" smoke test :)
