Thanks for the investigations, Paolo and Jérémy.

Yes, node-node-uuid is quite confusing and I am happy that upstream haas 
cleaned up that mess, so we can do so as well (our package was wrongly 
named and partially corrected in release 1.2.0~20110510-2 to at least 
get the binary package correct).

I will look into updating the package, including checking that its 
reverse dependencies work with the newer+renamed node-uuid.

Tanks for the lookup Jérémy !

From here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-uuid
it says "node-uuid DEPRECATED: Use the uuid package instead."

It appears node-uuid was a fork, then it got merged back.
There are two github projects both confusingly called "node-uuid":
- current: https://github.com/kelektiv/node-uuid is at 3.1.0
- deprecated: https://github.com/brrofs/node-uuid is at 3.0.0

The debian node-uuid source package upstream is the "deprecated" fork.
That's why the tracker says "a new upstream version is available: 3.0.0" and 
not 3.1.0

In the light of these facts I am even more convinced that it should be renamed.
Additionally its upstream should be set to https://github.com/kelektiv/node-uuid

Be aware that
npm show node-uuid
npm show uuid

both exists. Hence node-node-uuid...

All the packages created by npm2deb has source package names
node-. I prefer sticking with that convention. I think the
policy needs an update.

[Pkg-javascript-devel] node-node-uuid

[Paolo Greppi]

Hi, the package node-node-uuid seems broken, this fails:
nodejs -e "require('uuid');"

Also it triggers lintian error node-package-install-in-nodejs-rootdir because 
it installs /usr/lib/nodejs/node-uuid.js.

Next 1.4.0 is quite old and v. 3.1.0. is required for node-yarnpkg.

Finally I have some doubts on the the naming, according to policy:
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Policy
the source should be named uuid.js, and the binaries libjs-uuid and node-uuid

I would like to move its repo to salsa.d.o. and proceed to update.

Any objections / anybody else wants to do it ?
What are your thoughts on the naming ?
