Could you describe how you have that perception so we can work to address
it?  IBM is dedicating more to open source (including NOde.js) than they
ever have before (my perception).  And they're doing it in the open on
BitBucket repos.

Go here (krengel.tech/ibmioss-rpms ) and you'll find the main page for the
RPM stuff.  That will lead you to the getting started page:
http://krengel.tech/ibmioss-rpm-getting-started

Install is fairly straight forward.
