Which side is behaving inappropriately? Hard to tell..
- TokenDiversity 9y agoWhich isn't?
- proactivesvcs 9y agoUsers repeatedly screaming at a dev of an open source project cannot be said to be behaving appropriately, whether they're correct or not. One engages in polite discourse until it's obvious that the other side will not move, then you either fix the problem yourself or go elsewhere.
- mdlap 9y agoInappropriate: Users being impolite and overly demanding. Inappropriate: Maintainers (and supporters) insisting that a problem in their publishing process (whether or not they caused it) isn't their problem because the code works. Both sides had legitimate grievances, and both sides did a poor job of trying to resolve them.
- tinus_hn 9y agoYou make a stupid mistake and people politely ask you to fix it. If you dismiss the polite people it's only a matter of time before you run into someone who is not polite. It also doesn't help if your attitude is that if you think everyone else is being an idiot you don't stop and check if maybe the problem is with yourself.
- boyakasha 9y agoWhat stupid mistake? It was an NPM bug.
- divs1210 9y agoYes, but the package on npm is, indeed, corrupt and the latest semantic version. Anyone creating a fresh project right now with uglifyjs somewhere down the build chain will face this issue. The only way to resolve this is by publishing a fresh, correct version to npm ragardless of what caused the issue. The authors have failed to do this till now and the issue remains closed.
