Unable to install node using nvm

[booo]

This is because of an inconsistent naming schema in the nodejs releases. The tar ball is named node-v4.8-rc but the contained directory is named node-v4.8 and we can't cd into the directory because we assume it's named like the tar ball.

As a workaround, nvm install v0.4.8 works.

yeah, Ryan broke the automatic parts of nvm by giving the tarballs non-standard names. I think I'll just remove the code for latest and stable since it doesn't really work anymore.

As a zsh user, I'm +1 on removing the latest/stable magic too - since it doesn't really work on zsh. imo, aliases are totally sufficient.

(my current zsh workaround here- walkah@916aab5 )

Interesting. I wondered if anyone else was seeing that release candidate on their nvm ls. It would be nice to go back to being able to use stable/latest shortcuts again.

Should be good now. Well, at least till Ryan releases a funny named version again.
