Description
Describe your feature request
This is a feature request.
It would be nice to have a deb registry that always points to the latest major version of nodejs, to auto-upgrade to the latest version.
Distribution Information:
- OS: Ubuntu
- Version : 24.10
Node Version:
- Node: 23
To Reproduce
Version 23.x of NodeJS is now available, I won't get the update without changing the registry URL in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list.
Expected behavior
The current script & available repos are tied to a specific NodeJS version.
On my dev machines, I like to always use the latest version to try out new features & test newer versions for regressions.
The current model requires to change the registry URL on each new major release, on each dev machines.
A repo pointing to the latest release would be nice to have.
