Node.js v26.7.0

I think that's because the install lifecycle script doesn't run. The build step does show this:

npm warn install-scripts 6 packages had install scripts blocked because they are not covered by allowScripts:
(...)
npm warn install-scripts   node-datachannel@0.32.3 (install: prebuild-install -r napi || (npm install --ignore-scripts --production=false && npm run _prebuild))
npm warn install-scripts
npm warn install-scripts Run `npm install-scripts ls` to review, or `npm install-scripts approve <pkg>` to allow.

I think the way to fix it is to have npm install --omit=dev --allow-scripts=node-datachannel instead.

Hi there, this doesn't build in a clean chroot and gives this error:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent An unknown git error occurred
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /build/.npm/_logs/2022-01-02T19_39_43_438Z-debug-0.log

Adding git to makedepends does the trick.
