If you want to keep track of hot, fresh node-y goodness independently of the Ubuntu release cycle (as I do), then please enjoy my nodejs PPA builds. They're built for lucid, but run fine on maverick, and like everything else in that PPA, are used in production (thus I have an incentive to maintain them well). https://launchpad.net/~jdub/+archive/ppa Enjoy! (Note: I build a static version of node built against the internal copy of libraries it ships, rather than the dynamic build used by the main Debian and Ubuntu node packages. I really only do this to avoid maintaining those libraries in my PPA as well, and ryah keeps up with their updates anyway.)
