916971 - Rewrite npm-mirror utility in nodejs and upload to npm.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[William Lachance (:wlach)]

For bug 912973 I wrote up a small utility in python which creates a static mirror of an npm repository:

https://github.com/wlach/mirror-npm

It probably makes sense to rewrite this in nodejs, as it's almost certainly of interest to people outside of Mozilla who want a secure, read-only npm mirror. Once that's done, we can upload it to npm.org so other people (or us!) can easily download and use it.

(and in case it wasn't obvious from the assignee field, I'm volunteering to do this)

So I think this ship has already sailed, and it seems to work well. I'll give the code an r+.

I would like to see some more documentation of "manifest" files and how to use them. Our current use case of mirroring marionette js stuff would be perfect for this.
