> If you know how to build the binary from scratch, could you teach the npm package's continuous build to do it? Sending a pull request fixing the npm package would fix it for everyone, not just nix users. The "I have a binary already, just use this one" is in response to the problems NixOS users face dealing with helpful software like this. NixOS doesn't provide shared libraries in the standard locations (for good reasons). Binaries that tools like NPM download will link against shared libraries in the standard location. It's not really a question of "providing the binaries would help", because it's about assumptions of where the shared libraries are.
