ESLint changes on master; Node 6

[Brian Jacobel]

Hi all,

As part of our roadmap to bring ES2015+ to edx-platform, yesterday a change was merged to master that upgrades ESLint to a version that requires Node 4 or greater to run. If you are still using a Eucalyptus (or earlier) installation, pulling from master and running npm install will now fail. (Eucalyptus only includes Node 0.10).

We recommend that you update to Ficus (the current supported release) to continue using ESLint. If for some reason you are unable to update right now but still need to use edx-platform master, it’s possible to upgrade a Eucalyptus devstack to use Node 6 manually, although this process doesn’t work for everyone and is only advised as a short-term fix.

Thank you,
