I recently found a need for the CoffeeScript compiler[0] that runs on |
| 2 |
top of NodeJS. Its test suite requires a bunch of other javascript |
| 3 |
packages, and I wound up packaging enough of them to test CoffeeScript. |

In the process I wrote an eclass to handle packages hosted on the npm |
| 6 |
registry[1] and install them globally. I put all of this in an overlay |
| 7 |
for now: |

We don't have any standalone javascript packages in the tree at the |
| 12 |
moment but I know there's been some interest before. Is anyone still |
| 13 |
(planning on) working on javascript stuff in-tree? |

If not, I'll probably commit dev-lang/coffee-script to the tree without |
| 16 |
its test suite. But if so, the eclass and few dev-js packages I have |
| 17 |
might be a good start. Then I could add coffee-script with its test |
| 18 |
suite working. |
