Fails to build on debian testing (required for rocket.chat 😕 )

Hi, have faced a similar issue when upgrading a node to version 20.5.1. According to the node documentation, kFinalizer is removed (in node v18 it was marked as deprecated). As I can see, kFinalizer is identical by description to the kParameter.

@laverdet Correct me if I'm wrong, but if kFinalizer is switched to kParameter, the build should work correctly.

Thanks.

Hi please read the big notice on the front page.

[theoparis]

Should this issue be upstreamed to rocket.chat since it still uses this package?

[laverdet]

I'm surprised they are still using fibers. My guess is that if you open an issue over there they will tell you to use an older version of nodejs. Their README suggests 14.x
