[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#840967: use npm dist tarballs when repo does not have any tags

[Pirate Praveen]

package: npm2deb
version: 0.2.5-1
severity: wishlist

For example, if you take the module level,

npm view level dist.tarball
https://registry.npmjs.org/level/-/level-1.4.0.tgz

We can take this tarball and information on
https://registry.npmjs.org/level/ to look for newer versions.

We will have to create a new web service though,
gem2deb does this already with
http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/gemwatch

This will remove a lot of manual steps of finding the correct git commit
and downloading a snapshot.
