"You're on the latest version 1.2.3 of @package-a/some-package, however @person-a has officially transferred ownership of some-package to @person-b and there is a newer version 1.2.4 available at @person-b/some-package. If you'd like to upgrade, please update your dependency to @person-b/some-package"
- littlestymaar 7y agoThat's the mechanism, I was asking about the benefit of namespace in that case. With this kind of ownership transfers you lose all the alleged security benefit of namespaces.
- davnicwil 7y agoI think we're asking the same thing, or I've not explained well. I'm saying when ownership transfers, it'd be good to keep all the existing version history on the original namespace, exactly so you're not forced to update all your dependencies in case you don't need to upgrade and/or don't want the updates of the new owner.
