Latest versions of node.js and packages

[wirehack7]

Etherpad Lite stopped working with newer versions of node.js. Also with packages like express, connect etc.

Errors like this are occuring:

npm ERR! notsup Unsupported
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: express@2.5.8
npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">= 0.4.1 < 0.7.0"}
npm ERR! notsup Actual: {"npm":"1.1.32","node":"0.8.0"}

TypeError: Cannot read property 'global' of undefined

Essentially the problem is, we need to update package.json to work with 0.8 node. We also may need to change bits of the codebase to make it work.

Sounds like fun to me!

I already tried it. It's a pain. (see #788)

[marcelklehr]

ok, it's not.

@wirehack7 update npm ($ npm up npm) to make it work.

@wirehack7, does it work for you with the latest epl version (v1.1.1)?

[wirehack7]

Ok it works now. I updated and cahnged the versions which are required in the install routine. Thanks!

But EPL really needs to be updated for the newer versions of node.js and npm.
