[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#895625: [node-node-uuid] please update to version 3.0.1 or higher

[Paolo Greppi]

Package: node-node-uuid
Version: 1.4.7-5
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

According to npm registry:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-uuid "node-uuid DEPRECATED: Use the uuid package instead."
https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid points to: https://github.com/kelektiv/node-uuid

It appears node-uuid was a fork, then it got merged back.
There are two github projects both confusingly called "node-uuid":
- current: https://github.com/kelektiv/node-uuid is at 3.1.0
- deprecated: https://github.com/broofa/node-uuid is at 3.0.0
whereas now the module in npm registry is called "uuid".

ATM the upstream for this package is the latter.
BTW there must be something wrong with debian/watch because the tracker says "a new upstream version is available: 1.4.7.4.7" whereas the most recent tag is 3.0.0.

Anyway the most recent version of the current github repo is 3.2.1 but I need at least 3.0.1 for yarn.

Please set the upstream to https://github.com/kelektiv/node-uuid and update the package to 3.0.1 or later

Thanks !
