Please file issues at the module's issue trackers about having issues with newer v8 versions instead** \r\n\r\nSome months ago, I brought up the fact that gyp is pretty much abandonware on the [nodejs mailing-list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/nodejs/gyp/nodejs/0QiIr7jr2iY/rSoO69vyF5MJ). People chipped in with concerns and questions, but it pretty much stayed dormant after that. I think the outcome of \"ignoring\" it – especially since the io.js (and/or node) community would now have to cater to gyp development if needed – is not what I'd call planning for a stable future.\r\n\r\nI feel that the road to 1.0.0 would be best spent on trying to come to a conclusion as to what role gyp should play in the future of io.js. I'm inclined to summarise what's been said in the previous topic, but will refrain from doing so since it could come off as biased (go read it, now). If gyp will stay around, a decision to keep it instead of \"for now\" would be optimal. The idea of python requiring ruby to build, the same way io.js requires python is somewhat silly to me though."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iojs/io.js/issues/comments/76693845","html_url":"https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/133#issuecomment-76693845","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iojs/io.js/issues/133","id":76693845,"user":{"login":"bnoordhuis","id":275871,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/275871?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis","html_url":"https://github.com/bnoordhuis","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bnoordhuis/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-02T11:06:34Z","updated_at":"2015-03-02T11:06:34Z","body":"Right.
