Empty list of builds in /download/v8-canary/index.json

[chicoxyzzy]

List of builds in index.js file here is empty so it's currently not possible to install v8-canary builds via nvm like so:

NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/ nvm i node

/cc @nodejs/website ?

These were added by @rvagg yesterday (see nodejs/build#626)

Relevant from that issue:

I wanted to get y'all thinking about how the messaging for this might go—using these builds is going to be a huge mess if you're using addons. They may compile but you're not going to get ABI stability, even across v8-canary versions, and it could potentially break every 6 weeks. So perhaps we could think about a blog post that describes what this is, why you might tinker with them and what kind of breakage you should expect and how to deal with that.

To add to what I said above about messaging—you may not want to promote this too much, I can see people getting much more tangled in this than they would in our slower and more controlled master process that leads to nightly builds. Let's have a talk about limiting uninformed user problems first.

Closing in favour of the issue over at nodejs/build, thanks for reporting tho
