Issue

FreeIPA fails to build on fedora 42+ because of nodejs24.

In fedora 42 and above, nodejs24 is available and provides /usr/bin/node-24 instead of /usr/bin/node. The consequence is that the build fails because it calls the node command in https://pagure.io/freeipa/blob/master/f/install/ui/util/build.sh:

./makerpms.sh

We can stick to nodejs22 until nodejs24 becomes the default in Fedora.

I saw this in the rawhide side-tag build for tomcat 10. i handled it with:

BuildRequires: nodejs(abi) == 127
