Hello,
for opstools, we'll need nodejs in a repo, I've seen the Cloud SIG creating their version, PaaS has done the same (just illustrating, I may be wrong).
This is mostly a mail to ask for interested persons to join or coordinate efforts here. No need to do the same work multiple times.
What would be the best repository for cross-SIG dependencies?

I'm afraid there is none. As Cloud SIG needed a lot of common python dependencies, I originally offered to maintain those in a common repositories (and why not collaborating with EPEL) but there was little interest to do so. We even separated the build tags (hence cloud7-openstack-common-*) to make the transition easier.
I'm not keen on maintaining separately node.js but the only alternative we had are SCLs and quite old. Maybe we could work on a common layer SIG that could serve that role.
Regards, H.
IIRC, EPEL/nodejs-maintainers were looking to upgrade straight to nodejs version 6.
I currently don't know the requirements esp. regarding openssl.
Upstream Nodejs version 6 bundles openssl 1.0.2h, which makes me wonder if we could simply drop it and link node against the CentOS version of openssl. We should not maintain another openssl library here.
