Stopped instaling via npm today 11.09.2014 - package unpublished

[alex-kowalczyk]

Have you done any release recently? Today npm stopped installing grunt-po2json. Tested on three machines, no other changes in dev config in the meanwhile

EDIT: npm registry says you unpublished the package. What might be a workaround?

@alex-kowalczyk use "grunt-po2json": "git://github.com/rockykitamura/grunt-po2json.git" in the meantime in your package.json

[alex-kowalczyk]

@JSteunou Thanks, I already did another workaround: downloaded sources into my own tree and do npm install from local folder

+1, this is affecting our build process (although we're working around it, its not ideal)

+1 here.

I saw some other modules popping up on npm (grunt-po2json-simple) and Github (from warmrobot) which looks a lot like this repo however the syntax and features look a bit different. We are using the 'jed' format here, did not see support for this in the other repos.

It would be nice to know what to the plans are so we can prepare, thanks!

It says here https://www.npmjs.org/package/grunt-po2json that the module was unpublished on Sep 10th. Does anyone know why and/or if there are any plans or initiatives to get he project going again? Or is this an orphaned project.

Had the same problem. All you need to do is to install package directly from git: npm install git+https://github.com/rockykitamura/grunt-po2json.git It will install package directly from git.

Hi all,

@rockykitamura does not seem to answer on this issue and i would like this module to 'live on' and be published to npm once again.

I don't have a lot of experience with situations like this but i would suggest:

• Someone forks the repository (make sure it lives on)
• That same 'someone' adds a short entry to the README explaining the situation and add a link to this issue.
• that same 'someone' publishes to module back to npm.

I'm not doing very much with either Grunt and/or .po files but i would be willing to do this unless a better suited someone steps up ..

Suggestions / Ideas?

[rockykitamura]

Sorry about that. I have published grunt-po2json again. I don't have much time to make improvements to it, so contributions are welcome. Be sure to add tests when adding new features. Thanks!

[whyhankee]

Thanks @rockykitamura, for publishing again. I can confirm that all is as it should be. /me happy
