Yes, as I mentioned in this thread [1], I had a modify the package.json and a couple of .js files that deal with downloading the dependencies. But the Royale SDK part is exactly the same. Since the NPM release is not an official Apache release, it is okay for us to claim that this is Apache Royale v0.9.0. [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a610c585f6d3d35f1be742d8cf66b160c27e7a3f5db6dbdab59c59ab@%3Cdev.royale.apache.org%3E > > Thanks for figuring something out so folks don't have to use URLs.

I see this trend in other projects as well. For example, the latest Angular code is available under the @angular org: https://www.npmjs.com/~angular. Vue is available under @vue: https://www.npmjs.com/org/vue This approach would also protect us from outsiders taking up package names that might cause confusion with our packages. Only we can deploy packages under the @apache-royale namespace going forward.
