Earlier quoted context omitted.
Someone published a Debian/Ubuntu package: add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://debian.jones.dk/ sid freedombox and execute "aptitude install channel-server"
Ummm ... just publish it to npm please. cd /path/to/repository // create a valid package.json npm publish . That way I can: npm install channel-server Like I do with every other node.js application.
npm is great for libraries, but what are the implications for publishing apps?
I have a node app that I'd like people to be able to get easily, but it's really meant to be modified to suit each person's needs. Right now I just have people clone/fork a git repo; what would be the process for that if they were using npm?
