Hi This is a "best practices" question, motivated by the need to test against many versions of node.
For any given version of node, what's the best, most appropriate, and least likely to be problematic version of npm to use? Node ships with npm, so I'm inclined to just use the version of npm which ships with the version of node that I'm testing against. But there are inevitably occasional breakages or security issues, so that means that if I use this approach, I probably need to keep track of those issues and tweak the npm version accordingly. Another approach is to take the minor version which ships with a given node, and upgrade it to the highest patch release. That's probably going to take care of the instances I mentioned above, where there are bugs in particular versions of npm I would think. Yet another approach is to just upgrade to the most recent version of npm. That seems a bit fraught, given that there are breaking changes in version 2.x. My apologies if this is a FAQ. I will accept admonishment with appropriate humility; also gratitude, if it's accompanied by a reference, ideally in the form of a URL.
