deps: upgrade npm to 2.7.1 #1142
Conversation
Every npm version bump requires a few patches to be floated on node-gyp for io.js compatibility. These patches are found in 03d1992, 5de334c, and da730c7. This commit squashes them into a single commit. PR-URL: nodejs#990 Reviewed-By: Ben Noordhuis <info@bnoordhuis.nl>

(I pinged @rvagg on twitter, maybe we can get a npm-specific CI test to make reviewing these more reliable multiplatform?) |

My bad, looks like there is a CI task for it now! https://jenkins-iojs.nodesource.com/job/iojs+npm+any-pr+multi/2/ Edit: looks like the node symlink may not be working on some CI platforms? |

@Fishrock123 to expand on the earlier conversation: the test-npm Jenkins job initially exists to give @othiym23 a place to refine his test suite to make it work for us, don't expect it to actually work yet hence the This PR gets an LGTM from me. |

npm@2.7.1is a pretty hefty release. I've included the four most significant changes below, and there are many others in the full release notes.6823807#7121
npm install --savefor Gitdependencies saves the URL passed in, instead of the temporary directory used
to clone the remote repo. Fixes using Git dependencies when shrinkwwapping.
In the process, rewrote the Git dependency caching code. Again. No more
single-letter variable names, and a much clearer workflow.
