Default nodejs plugin version bumped from 6.11.4 to the latest 6.x LTS (6.14.2) by snapcore/snapcraft PR #2157, commit 4b6636621; maintainer linked the PR and the Launchpad bug was closed.

Resolution: closed resolved

Reason: The reporter's request was implemented upstream in commit 4b6636621 ("nodejs plugin: update to the latest 6.x LTS point release (#2157)"), and the only issue comment is ~sergiusens pointing to PR #2157 before closing the bug. A later commit b847e74af (#2342) moved the default on to the 8.x LTS.

Issue body

The default nodejs version used by snapcraft is 6.11.4: https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/95badff3b2871c353cc906b774caac5d9d93a7d5/snapcraft/plugins/nodejs.py#L64 But I think that it should use the latest from the 6.x LTS, 6,14.2 right now: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V6.md As there has been quite a few security releases: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V6.md#6.11.5 https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V6.md#6.12.2 https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V6.md#6.14.0
