715183 - BrowserID: Get Production running latest node and npm

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Cloud Services :: Operations: Miscellaneous, task)

Description

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

We need to get Production, load gen clients, and Stage all running the latest, known good versions of node and npm.

Tested and usable:
node v0.6.5 and npm 1.1.0-alpha-6

Not fully tested:
node v0.6.6 plus npm (what version?)

I am voting for v0.6.5 because I ran into issues attempting a local install of v0.6.6.

we may want to hold off for node v0.6.7. I hear it's going to have a bug-fix against that hash-collision DoS.

FYI, we should do this upgrade on an "off-day" -- not the same day we do trains (minimize amount of changes in prod at once).

The current train in stage is running against nodejs 0.6.10.

Yes it is! Should we mark this as Resolved/Fixed or are you holding for PHX?...
