node.jslinuxbrew

Linuxbrew doesn't see the latest version of node.js

I'm trying to install node.js on Ubuntu using linuxbrew. I'm running the following commands:

brew update
brew info node

the output is 

node: stable 6.0.0, HEAD

However version 6.1.0 should already be available (you could verify it in e.g braumeister)

Any ideas what could be the issue here?

Solution

  • Linuxbrew is built on top of Homebrew and updates to the latter need to be manually ported to the former, which is why you can expect a small update lag. Braumeister and similar websites get their infos from Homebrew.
