Node 8.2?

Hi guys,

Just wondering what's the plan for updating node to 8.2 in the deb packages. The PR was merged and the release went out yesterday: nodejs/node#13744.

I'm still seeing nodejs is already the newest version (8.1.4-2nodesource1~xenial1) on Ubuntu 16.04 no matter how hard I'm trying to apt update :–)

It's coming, the minimum compiler requirements were bumped so @chrislea has been adapting to the new build requirements. The .rpm's are done and the .deb's should be ready within a matter of hours I believe. Keep an eye on the repo and they'll show up!

Cool! It'd be great if you dropped a line here once all's done – I'll test.

I'm pretty sure it's been submitted through the automatic build process and now the relevant people are 💤 so you'll probably see it before they wake up if you keep checking for yourself.
