> The trouble is it's not just multiple platforms, but multiple node versions that you may want to support. I'm assuming your binary is a node extension. Is that true?
No its not node extension. > You could distribute your module without the binary and tell people to grab the binary themselves in whatever way they feel is best. Do you feel ok if there was no npm to install modules and you had to install them manually yourself? Of Course not! its just to ease the process. So my downloader is! This is what node-gyp does even. I don't think its another point of failure. Its even a positive point: 1) Users don't need to download a huge node module that contains unnecessary files (those for other platforms). 2) They don't need to choose among packages in a download page and put it in the proper place in directory structure! -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
