angular bootstrap older versions removed from npmjs? - npm

We had been using version 0.11.0 of angular-bootstrap from npmjs. It appears that version is no longer available on npmjs. From the commands below does this mean that someone actually unpublished the older packages?
prompt:~$ npm view angular-bootstrap time
{ modified: '2015-01-12T06:48:54.881Z',
created: '2014-01-29T21:54:32.213Z',
'0.0.1': '2014-01-29T21:54:37.589Z',
'0.0.2': '2014-01-29T22:03:08.814Z',
'0.0.3': '2014-01-29T22:51:49.998Z',
'0.0.4': '2014-02-11T15:14:17.078Z',
'0.11.0': '2014-06-24T07:06:56.435Z',
'0.13.0-SNAPSHOT': '2014-12-02T13:05:43.151Z',
'0.12.0': '2015-01-12T06:46:41.986Z' }
prompt:~$ npm view angular-bootstrap versions
0.12.0

I agree, the package seems to have been unpublished. You can still access it from the github history, as follows:
$ npm install "angular-ui/bootstrap#0.11.0"
(note that you may not need quoting, but some shells will interpret the # as a comment-begin character.) You can also use this syntax in dependencies inside package.json
If you have a project in production that depends on this, you should probably make a fork of the angular-ui/bootstrap repository and point towards that.
(I had some difficulty making this work on Windows, but it looks like you're on a Unixy system, so you should be fine.)

Ticket discussing this and the future is at https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/issues/1636

What means this Vue devtools version hint?

My Vue devtools show this version hint:
I don't understand from where the version number 3.2.28 is coming though or to what exactly it refers to - my vue version is 3.2.25.
Can't see much more than what you provided in the image, but I think a reasonable guess is that you are using something like this:
"dependencies": {
"vue": "^3.2.25"
},
If that's the case, the install script will get the latest patch version, which would be 3.2.28 at the time of install, and 3.2.29 at the time of screenshot. This will also update the npm (or yarn) package which will make it re-install 3.2.28 even when 3.2.29
if you want to lock it, remove the ^ character, if you want to understand better why and how this is happening look into the Using semantic versioning to specify update types your package can accept documentation

Update dependencies in NPM to resolve vulnerability

My repo in github show the following alert :
Dependabot cannot update ssri to a non-vulnerable version. The latest possible version that can be installed is 6.0.1 because of the following conflicting dependencies:
terser-webpack-plugin#2.3.8 requires ssri#^7.0.0 via cacache#13.0.1
webpack#4.46.0 requires ssri#^6.0.1 via a transitive dependency on
cacache#12.0.4
The earliest fixed version is 8.0.1.
As far as I known, I should update the root package (which is terser-webpack-plugin) in package.json to a newer version, but how to determine the minimum version that can support the non-vulnerable version of the dependency (in this case ssri 8.0.1) since I don't want to update to a too high version and risk breaking things. I am thinking of manually checking through all the release version of terser-webpack-plugin, but it's very tedious and seem wrong to check like that. Any suggestions ?
To speed up the process and save installing each version and its associated dependency tree, we can use npm-remote-ls (https://stackoverflow.com/a/26005786/2815338)
Firstly get the list of available versions:
> npm view terser-webpack-plugin versions
[
'1.0.0', '1.0.1', '1.0.2', '1.1.0', '1.2.0',
...
Then run npm-remote-ls for each version after your current one and filter on the relevant dependency, e.g.
> npm-remote-ls terser-webpack-plugin#3.0.0 | grep ' ssri#'
??? ?????? ssri#8.0.1
??? ??? ??? ?????? ssri#6.0.2
In this case terser-webpack-plugin#5.0.0 is the first with only fixed versions of ssri (8.0.1), and 5.1.0 appears to not include ssri at all, presumably due to webpack no longer depending on cacache.
N.B. the question marks appear to be due to encoding of characters that npm-remote-ls uses to display a tree structure. You could also use Select-String in PowerShell, but this appears to show different (incorrect) characters instead.

Set minimum patch version

Using semver as the standard, so I have this package version:
0.0.108
so in package.json for a Node.js project, I might have something like:
"foo":"^0.0.108"
my question is - using semver notation, how can I tell NPM not to install anything below 0.0.108? For example, 0.0.107 is unacceptable, but 0.0.109, or 0.0.111 is ok?
If you don't want anything in 0.1.x, then this should work
>=0.0.108 <0.1
If you are okay with any future versions, such as major releases, then you only need
>=0.0.108
Note the semver spec (Section 4) and the npm documentation on semver (Caret Ranges) both suggest there can be breaking changes for every release when the minor version number is still 0, so you may have to deal with those if you decide not to use ^0.0.108.

Vue Material postinstall failed

So I've been working on a Vue.js project for couple times now, and I am facing a problem I've never seen before.
Trying to git pull the project on another computer, or even downloading the project as a zip file, when it's time to npm install, vue-material module fails and the whole thing cannot be run.
It goes this way, with vie-material :
vue-material#1.0.0 postinstall C:\<my_things>\node_modules\vue-material
sh build/git-hooks/install.sh
Then I see this :
/usr/bin/bash: build/git-hooks/install.sh: No such file or directory
Then the modules' tree shows in the terminal, and at the end, I can see all the errors related to vue-material, with this statement :
Tell the author that this fails on your system:
sh build/git-hooks/install.sh
By the way, I tried to crate a brand new Vue project, and tried to add vue-material inside, no problem, so it has to do with my project.
Obviously though, /usr/bin/bash does not exist, since I'm running Windows 10.
Any knowledge on npm's installing routine ? I'm out of solution to try...
Can you share your package.json file?
I had this same problem just now and found that NPM could possibly be installing the incorrect version. Where I had "^vue-material": "1.0.0-beta-7" NPM was installing version 1.0.0 instead of 1.0.0-beta-7. If you remove the ^ then it may work for you. This is where I found the answer that helped me.
https://github.com/vuematerial/vue-material/issues/1155
Well, after couple times figuring out what was wrong, I got this :
I tried to use yarn and it told me that my node version was too old (vue-material needed 7.0+ and my node was 6.9, or at least that is what yarn told me), so I got myself the 8.9.3 node.
After this I tried to use yarn again, and the error with that bash script showed again.... then I just tried to use npm install again, and it worked just fine...
I don't know about the bash script thing, but one thing to remember is to always check for node and npm's version when errors happend.... (and yarn looks very cool and simple imo ^^).
You kinda made me think about a version problem though, I got you that ! :D
Problem solved....

YUM: Upgrade a package from a different repo

Say I have two repos: repoa and repob. I installed a package 3.1 ver from repoa. I have a newer version 3.2 in repob.
How could I upgrade the package from repob? I tried to yum upgrade, but looks it always stick to the original repo - repoa, and didn't look at the package in repob at all. I can use 'yum provides' to get the package information from two repose, but only repoa looks recognised.
I tried several things such as change the priority higher for repob, temporarily remove the repoa, but none of them working.
I guess I need to remove it then do reinstallation from repob.
