We tried to update yarnpkg as part of an outreachy project (in two
rounds), but we could not complete it in time for bookworm. As shared
by Israel, we made some good progress and we hope to be able to do it
in trixie. I request bookworm-ignore tags for these bugs (as such there
is no immediate breakage, just unmaintained upstreams for these
packages). Hopefully we can handle any security updates ourselves.
Additionally, even though yarnpkg itself is old, the presence of the
package makes it easy to obtain a newer yarnpkg. In gitlab, I already
use the packaged yarnpkg command to install a newer yarnpkg[1]. It is
also very common in nodejs world to use specific version of yarnpkg for
each project, these are typically installed in .yarn directory for each
project.
yarnpkg: 980316,958686, 1002902, 980316
node-har-validator: 1024575
node-request: 956423
node-request-capture-har: 1002901
