Any #nodejs developers interested in taking up this challenge?
Build #yarn 1.x with #babel 7.x
Yarn 2.x already moved to babel 7.x but there is no stable release for yarn 2.x and it is completely different from yarn 1.x.
This will help us ship yarn in #debian (we already moved everything else to babel 7.x but could not port this yet) for next stable release bullseye.
It would be useful to nodejs developers to make initial installation of yarn easy.
@paolog with excellent troubleshooting by @akshay we finally have #yarn built with #babel 7!
Thanks a lot Akshay for helping here and which also makes it possible to remove babel 6 from #debian.
Thanks also to Paolo for maintaining yarnpkg. Its a bit of relief that all your packaging work was not lost as not shipping yarn in bullseye main would have been a big disappointment.

Hopefully we have a working yarn package now. #debian #yarn #javascript #nodejs

Another good news here. I got yarn 2 built using corepack sources!
I used a few npm dist tarballs in node_modules, once we package those, we can have yarn 2 in main.
