"npm info fluent-logger-node" does not turn up this library, which seems bad, given that's the name of the repository.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/fluent-logger-node is not our project and unmaintained since 7 years ago.
What is the problem?
What should we do?

kevinburkenotion commented

The problem is people will look at the repository name here and run "npm install fluent-logger-node" and try to install a 7 year old package.

Maybe contact NPM support or the author of the other package, or otherwise make it clear that the package name does not match the repository name.

I see. I will contact the 7 years old package author.

But APIs are different between this library and 7 years old package.
Users who run npm install fluent-logger-node without reading install section of this library can be aware of it when they run their own application.
