Control: retitle 843021 RFP: node-yarn -- a fast, reliable, and secure package manager for Node.js
The command: npm2deb depends -b -r yarn currently reports that 38 node modules are missing. The situation is at the same time somewhat better than that, and much worse that that. node-gyp is actually already present (https://packages.debian.org/sid/node-gyp) this seems to me a npm2deb bug (see https://github.com/LeoIannacone/npm2deb/issues/34) Some of the missing modules are being worked at: - os-homedir, http://bugs.debian.org/841196 ITP open since Tue, 18 Oct 2016 - regenerator-runtime: https://bugs.debian.org/842894 ITP open since Wed, 2 Nov 2016 - doctrine: http://bugs.debian.org/840925 ITP open since Sun, 16 Oct 2016 - js-tokens: https://bugs.debian.org/842857 ITP open since Tue, 1 Nov 2016 - buffer-shims: http://bugs.debian.org/840920 ITP open since Sun, 16 Oct 2016 Ans some can be skipped: - cmd-shim: should be required only on windows - leven: node-fast-levenshtein is in debian and it should be easy to patch yarn to use that instead (or ask ustream, since fast-levenshtein seems more popular than leven) - readable-stream: according to this closed ITP "The Stream module in nodejs v4.2.1 (LTS) is now stable. ... you can just patch to use stream instead of readable-stream." This leaves us with 19 modules. But one of these is acorn, for which the closed RFA https://bugs.debian.org/792862 reports: "... this package depends on browserify ... so getting this packaged may take some time. ... the package acorn has just been removed from the Debian archive unstable" For the other 18 see the attachment. The conclusion is that this package has to wait for browserify, see https://bugs.debian.org/780357 and https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/Browserify
