Question

o3-xml and mu tarball deps are 404'd

Closed this issue 11 years ago · 3 comments

Is there a reason these deps weren't specified as npm packages? If a version issue exists, perhaps a version specifier in the dep lines would fix it? Regardless, the node-ostatus version on npm now is not installable since your hosted tarballs of these libs aren't available.

This is really old stuff, the o3-xml required native code compiled (back in the days it was done by the module provider). A lot has changed since then and I think o3-xml has not been updated (still stuck to node 0.2). It probably needs a lot of work to be brought to node 0.10 and gyp.

So, this means a lot would have to be rewritten to fix this library, at least on the xml parsing front. A few of the other pieces could be reused.

I won't attempt to maintain this library, but happily merge pull requests if any.

I had doubts writing this, and realized this was fixed two years ago in the 'dev' branch by pull request #2 :-)

As I said, been a long time :-) So, I've merged everything on master, and hopefully this will help.

Any other issues, feel free to patch and I'll be happy to merge.

Thanks! I'll start playing with it!
