[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#715325: npm: leaves lots of stuff in /tmp

[Shawn Landden]

Package: npm
Version: 1.2.18~dfsg-3
Severity: normal

I installed a few packages yesterday, and today realized npm was wasting 50M
of my ram with copies of what it downloaded still in /tmp/npm-# folders

it should clean this up, put it in /var/cache, and/or have a command to clean up
