Swapping Node.js version should be as easy as `npm i node`

Meteor 2 is using Node.js 14. I did figure out where is Node.js fork by Meteor, binaries for those, and compiled from source for remaining platforms:

I build bundles for:

Windows amd64
Linux amd64, arm64, s390x

Running Meteor at Windows is possible, if you don’t use git submodules and symlinks.

Installing at Windows:

Installing at Mac:

Info how to run these bundles is at Raspberry Pi · wekan/wekan Wiki · GitHub

First I build Linux amd64 bundle. Then at each OS/CPU, I make some changes, like install fibers, that is required to be built for each OS, with build-bundle scripts here:

Although currently Node.js 14 does segmentation fault at s390x, so I’m trying to upgrade to Meteor 3:

Upgrade to Meteor 3.0 alpha 15 ?

Feature:Upgrade

@StorytellerCZ Related to Meteor Alpha 15 https://github.com/meteor/meteor/…pull/12359 , when I was writing WeKan Deep Dive you asked for, and there is also screenshot about how to update dependencies by adding Meteor version number: - https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Deep-Dive-Into-WeKan I did now try upgrading to Meteor 3.0 alpha 15. Interestingly this time there was no error about increasing memory size. Instead, there was this list of dependencies to upgrade. I have not yet tried to fix all warnings that are visible with these CLI options: ``` WARN_WHEN_USING_OLD_API=true NODE_OPTIONS="--trace-warnings" ``` That is one option at my dev build script: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/master/rebuild-wekan.sh#L134 I'm thinking about: - how to upgrade these dependencies - if there are some Async Await changes needed, how to do them? Sure, upgrading to Meteor 3.0 could be a lot of changes, but also changing to any other tech could also be a lot of changes, like when I tried some small prototypes here: - https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/WeKan-Multiverse-Roadmap Maybe @filipenevola also has thoughts about this. ## Upgrading to Meteor 3.0 alpha 15 Tried at M1 Air, using macOS Sonoma beta 14.0, using Node.js 14.21.3: https://gist.github.com/xet7/0028ce353f372f5c23a1fc26e4510b4e

Previously I did also build for ppc64le, but then OpenPower Minicloud was closed:

I did previously get building with Meteor working also at Linux arm64 with that In Progress PR, but after that when I tried it did not work anymore, I’ll try again later, that PR is not yet merged to Meteor:
