Since commit [1], the host-nodejs package was turned into a virtual
package. However, the target nodejs package was intentionally not
turned into a virtual package and became an empty package.
The reason for this is:
- No alternatives providers were introduced for the target nodejs
package.
- The Config.in remained unchaged for the target package.
As a result, running `make show-info` with a config that includes the
target nodejs package, outputs an entry for the empty package:
```
"nodejs": {
"type": "target",
"name": "nodejs",
"virtual": false,
"version": "",
...
"cpe-id": "cpe:2.3:a:nodejs:node.js::*:*:*:*:*:*:*"
},
```
This can be an issue because the CPE ID of the empty nodejs package
is the following `cpe:2.3:a:nodejs:node.js::*:*:*:*:*:*:*`.
Reporting such a CPE ID can be an issue for certain software that consume
the SBOM and could be interpreted as CPE that matches with every versions
of the package.
This patch converts the target nodejs package into a virtual package to
prevents the empty package from being included in the SBOM.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
