like nodejs enough, and npm devs seems to not care about centrally/globally
installed packages. There are some npm packages that have to be modified so
they can work when globally installed and it gets boring after a while. npm
packages tend to be really small so one package can have a really high
number of deps.
If anybody is interested in this, check out my repo with npm packages[0]
and a really simple g-npm tool[1] to generate ebuilds for them. These tools
might be outdated cause I don't use nodejs anymore and I dont care much
about it.
Feel free to ping me if you have questions.
