v5.7.1
This release reverts a patch that could cause some ownership changes on system files when running from some directories when also using sudo
. 馃槻
Thankfully, it only affected users running npm@next
, which is part of our staggered release system, which we use to prevent issues like this from going out into the wider world before we can catch them. Users on latest
would have never seen this!
The original patch was added to increase consistency and reliability of methods npm uses to avoid writing files as root
in places it shouldn't, but the change was applied in places that should have used regular mkdirp`. This release reverts that patch.
