If you want it in main, then yes.

No, this will need a transition, ie, all packages depending in node-less will need to be updated to work with the new version. >- gulp-angular-templatecache: event-stream, gulp-header, gulp-footer > >- gulp-footer: event-stream > >- event-stream: from, map-stream, pause-stream, stream-combiner > >- gulp-closure-compiler: temp-write > >- gulp-closure-deps > >- gulp-if: gulp-match ternary-stream > >- gulp-insert: stream-queue > >- gulp-less: accord, less >= 2.6.0 > >- accord: indx > >- gulp-sass: node-sass > >- node-sass: async-foreach, gaze, in-publish, sass-graph, >stdout-stream, true-case-path > >Cheers, >-Hilko You can use a script to generate the dependency list like https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/npm -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
