Far fewer than 1 in 10 npm packages is useful.
I don't think you understand what I want. I don't want to see all of the packages in these repositories added to Linux distributions. I want to see the packages that you need added to these distros.

And no, I don't want to maintain the curated version myself. The whole point of using someone else's software was to save time and effort.
- ddevault 4y agoYou add it. You are responsible for your dependencies. You should already be getting notified of new releases, reading changelogs, etc, and bumping the pkgver in some repository is not arduous on top of that. The labor, split among everyone who does this, is very managable.
- jacques_chester 4y agoIt won't happen. But please prove me wrong by finding thousands of people aching to curate tens of thousands of packages that are already widely available through well-known central repositories.
