arikon/npm2debian — Issue #14: ./debian/rules cannot download other software
Author: kapouer
Created: 2012-02-18 19:45:08+00:00
State: open

In generated ./debian/rules,
npm install --dev

will, in the general case, ask npm to download dev dependencies and install them
in local ./node_modules.
This cannot be done in debian/rules. The dev dependencies must be listed in debian/control
Build-Depends field.

Considering the current state of npm2debian, it might be wiser to report automatic testing to a later version ?
