I have almost finish a new version for this patchset. All network accesses are now done during the do_fetch and verified using the check_network_access function. The npm-shrinkwrap.json file ensures that the generated tree will be reproducible. It describes the wanted dependency tree and provides an integrity check for each packages. When using this file the build is totally predictable. Of course this file is mandatory.
