The real problem is that NPM wouldn’t be around. Better check in your node_modules directory the night before archive day so it’s included.

  I don't think there would be enough storage capability to store that many node_module directories.

    Assuming they are deduping based on content hash it shouldn’t be that big a deal. Worst case it’s the size of npm itself.

      Well yeah, but at that point you should just be cloning NPM on 2/2/20 as well.

      https://archiveprogram.github.com/#arctic-code-vault https://archiveprogram.github.com/#arctic-code-vault > The snapshot will consist of the HEAD of the default branch of each repository, minus any binaries larger than 100KB in size. Each repository will be packaged as a single TAR file. 100KB is a very low limit, many repos will be useless

        100KB per file would cover most JS projects. Even those with a checked nose_modules would be entirely included as the dependencies are already expanded.

          However, many projects have resources (e.g PNG or JPG images) which are larger than 100kB. These will be lost...
