nodejslts.download.recipe not finding the latest update

[arekdist]

I'm not sure what is going on with nodejslts.download.recipe but looking at the url of https://nodejs.org/en/blog with serch pattern eg.:

curl -s https://nodejs.org/en/blog | egrep -o "Node v([0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)+) \(LTS\)"
Node v18.20.1 (LTS)
Node v18.20.1 (LTS)
Node v18.20.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.0 (LTS)
Node v20.12.0 (LTS)
Node v20.12.0 (LTS)
Node v18.20.1 (LTS)
Node v18.20.1 (LTS)
Node v18.20.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.1 (LTS)
Node v20.12.0 (LTS)
Node v20.12.0 (LTS)
Node v20.12.0 (LTS)

it looks as maintainer doesn't care about the correct order of updates and this source is probably not reliable. The effect of this is that currently autopkg imports version 18.20.1 as the "newest".

Comment for issue observation :)

Thanks for raising this,

Looking at https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release it seems 18.20.1 is the latest or at least it just so happens to have been the version most recently updated.

We could use this https://nodejs.org/dist/ and have major version as a variable?

Good idea!

I might have time to get to it this afternoon, but if anyone has any immidiate capacity we accept PR's 😄

Ok, updated the recipes. Could you give https://github.com/autopkg/dataJAR-recipes/commit/86473ce4328905818541cab0ffdcedb631e2aedb a try please?

I've tested with major versions 21, 20, 18 and seems ok here.

Checked and works as expected. Thanks!

Great, I'll close this off. Thanks for raising, @arekdist
