Hi, I was just wondering if there is any kind of solution to potential problem of massive amount of packages on npm that are:
- old packages that use old apis - packages that are init commit - packages that are broken by new npm versions I understand node ecosystem is all about minimal packages that solve very specific problem domains and are glued together by user in their applications. But there are growing number of packages that are basically abandoned. And when you take a look at commits you see something like 2 years ago ... 4 years ago, and also there are more then few issues and some of pull requests that aren't commented and authors show no sign of life of project. My question is: - Does anybody governing node, npm and similiar stuff is aware of these issues, and is there potential solution to them? - Are we limited to forking and producing new modules with same / similar name - which I believe would be more confusing? I am asking this because on a daily basis I am encountering packages that have latest commit years ago, and maybe some pull requests and few issues but are well done packages and are unusable just because of new version of node, expres, etc... -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
