@kylos101 Can you review this ?

hi @gengjiawen , can you help us out here to better understand? :pray:

Please refer to this matrix for an example. You can see it relates compatible versions of Angular, Node, Typescript, and RxJS. So, users may wish to use nvm to switch between node/npm installations that are coupled to distinct Typescript installations (rather than have Typescript be installed globally across all node/npm versions).

I can revert the typescript part if you like. But I do thinks put typescript in devDependencies is the right thing to do.

If it's desired to use yarn to manage global dependencies

The patch to yarn is mainly to fix https://github.com/gitpod-io/workspace-images/issues/639. Yarn will keep packages global available and work in every conditions.

Also this patch also fix pnpm install global issues.

Hi @gengjiawen once this build finishes, there will be new image tag with a timestamp close to "now" which you'll be able to use.

Then, Tuesday, we'll tag the latest images as latest.
