My suggestion would be to make it all work and neat in an overlay, then see if you can convince someone to add it into the tree, or I guess proxy. The dependency list sure is long. :( I made an effort with the scala one but hit a roadblock with a magic circular dependency between two java packages one of which would need to be split into two ebuilds - which was too much java surgery for me to manage. I might be able help with the MySQL problem, but yeah, if I had time I would make an etherpad overlay with dev-nodejs/ and all those deps. //Peter
