build broken due to ecstatic?

[alberanid]

We are building forms 1.3.0 on a Yocto environment, and the dependency tree ends up including ecstatic ~0.4.5, which was removed from the npm repository, few days ago.

Is forms 1.3.0 broken for everyone? Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

It seems like it's coming in from testling which is a dev dep - why are you "building" forms and not using it from npm? It's just JS.

@ljharb that's correct, I already opened an issue for testling: tape-testing/testling#118

We are building it because Yocto ( https://www.yoctoproject.org/ ) is a framework to build complete Linux distributions, so everything is built from the upstream sources plus patches, if needed.

I guess we'll find a way to remove the dependency, on Monday.

Thanks for your help.

@alberanid since it's a dev dep, you should be running npm install --production so it's not installed in the first place, thereby bypassing this issue (and probably massively shrinking the size of your distribution)
