[yocto] nodejs npm qemux86_64

[Jean-Marie LEMETAYER]

Hi Jonas,

I am currently refactoring / updating the npm handling in Yocto:

http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/bitbake-devel/2019-October/020449.html

Your point is very interesting, I will take it into account for the next patchset version.

Best regards,
Jean-Marie
