The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
Precompile your node modules, use npm as your data store:
coolmodule
optional:
coolmodule-shyp-win32-x64
coolmodule-shyp-win32-ia32
coolmodule-shyp-darwin-x64
coolmodule-shyp-darwin-ia32
...
To install
npm install -g node-shyp
node-shyp is simple. All your node-gyp configuration works as before, with just a few modifications to package.json
.
node-shyp init
to create default shyp-blacklist.js
file in your root"scripts": {
"install": "node shyp-blacklist.js win32-x64 [etc...] || node-gyp rebuild"
}
Node will only install those dependencies that match your arch/platform (due to the published code's package.json settings).
{
"version": "1.1.3",
"optionalDependencies": {
"coolmodule-shyp-win32-x64": "1.1.x",
...
}
}
node-shyp publish
from the root directory on each platform you build for.This will publish the compiled versions of the code to npm.
npm install bindings-shyp
to load the precompiled version or the loaded version.Just like the bindings
module.
module.exports = require('bindings-shyp')('canvas')
Shyp automatically compiles against multiple Node versions for compatibility. (As of Feb 2013, releasing for stable versions means building against 0.8.26 and 0.10.26.) These are hardcoded though they probably shouldn't be.
0.8.x
uses the tag "v8.3-11" for its node version.0.10.x
uses the tag "v8.3-14" until 0.10.4
, where NODE_MODULE_VERSION is exposed. Shyp hardcodes this version to equal "node-v11".0.10.4
onward uses "node-v11".0.11.x
uses "node-v14".MIT
