Anyone here familiar with driving nodejs and npm? |

I'm trying to write an ebuild for a musicbrainz mirror server and "npm |
| 4 |
install" keeps erroring out with one of two errors: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1. The install does finish but npm doesn't get around to exiting, |
| 7 |
verified by stopping the emerge, running npm install manually and seeing |
| 8 |
that it does nothing. When it stalls strace shows the last call was |
| 9 |
(poll,<number> ), which implies a race condition. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
2. More and more often now I get the dreaded "npm: ERR! cb() never |
| 12 |
called!" error message which Google and stackoverflow say has been an |
| 13 |
ongoing issue for 3 years now. If I keep retrying it eventually |
| 14 |
succeeds, implying a race condition of some sort. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I do this in src_prepare(): [1] |
| 17 |
src_prepare() { |
| 18 |
npm install npm || die |
| 19 |
npm install || die |
| 20 |
} |
| 21 |
following the lead of the ony other ebuild in the tree that does npm |
| 22 |
install - bokeh-0.7.1 |

The package.json file from musicbrainz.com is this, it looks OK to me: |
