Deprecate and/or unpublish old NPM packages

Open bennostein opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

It would be good to unclutter some of our namespaces over on the main NPM registry to minimize confusion/clutter for anyone searching for us over there.

But, since the left-pad fiasco, NPM doesn't let you just unpublish packages freely -- you have to send a support email, they check there are no dependencies, etc. (see here)

Another option would be to just deprecate them instead -- probably a good first step in any case.

The packages in question, as far as I can see, are:

skdb
skdb-dev
skdb-react
@skipruntime/api
@skipruntime/client
@skipruntime/tests
@skipruntime/addon
@skipruntime/runtime

and the following, once #686 lands

@skiplang/std
@skiplang/json
@skip-wasm/std
@skip-wasm/json
@skip-wasm/date

If we unpublish the skdb packages, we should take down https://www.skdb.io. Maybe we should take it down anyhow.
