Remove dependency on rimraf

Open stianjensen opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

fs-extra was basically created to avoid having to install both mkdirp, rimraf etc, and is also already installed here, so we can avoid using both at the same time.

This moves rimraf to devDependencies, since it's still conveniant for the local 'clean' and 'prepack' commands.

At the same time, update to fs-extra 10.x, since it's lowest supported node version there is now still lower than the lowest supported version for patch-package, but has still introduced the option of using node's native fs.rm when available: https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

(fs-extra 11.x only works on node 14.14+, while patch-package currently supports all 14.x versions)
